NMPreps first look at each schedule leading up to the 2023 season. We give our best predictions and potential overall records. Schedules are submitted here.
2023 SCHEDULE
8/18-Navajo Prep -Away - Favorite
8/25-Bloomfield-Home - Underdog
9/9 -SFIS -Home - Coin/Favorite
9/15-Los Alamos -Home - Underdog
9/22-Cloudcroft-Away - Favorite
9/29-Robertson -Home - Underdog
10/6 -Highlands-Home - Underdog
*10/13-Moriarty-Away - Underdog
*10/20 -Taos -Home - Underdog
*10/27–Espanola-Away - Coin Flip
2022 Record: 0-9 overall, 0-3 district
Best Case Scenario: 4-6 overall. The schedule is more favorable than in 2022. They replaced Socorro (Navajo Prep), Portales (with Cloudcroft) and added Santa Fe Indian. If they can win the three new games along with a season end win over Espanola Valley could get them to 4-wins in 2023. New head coach Zeke Villegas provides some excitement to a program in need of resurgence.
Worst Case Scenario: 2-8 overall. Cloudcroft didn't play football in 2022 and Navajo Prep went 1-8 overall in 2022. Those two games will be key for the Elks program that went 0-9 last season. Both sides of the ball struggled and the coin flip or favorite games will help build some confidence for an offense that only scored 20 points in 2022.
