NMPreps look at week 5 of the New Mexico high school football season. #nmpreps
TOP-3 MUST-SEE
Cibola (2-1) at Los Lunas (4-0): We have a clash between two of the top quarterbacks in New Mexico. Cibola (No. 6 NMPreps Top 20) featuring the top-ranked QB in the state with junior Aden Chavez looking to build off his 946 passing yards. Los Lunas (No. 7) is led by junior Paul Cieremans who has 561-yards on the season along with 469-yards.

Hobbs (3-1) at Goddard (3-0): On offense we have a tandem for the 4th ranked Goddard Rockets in Noah Reese (QB/2022) and 2023 running back Javyn Morales. The Hobbs Eagles (No. 14) will have a strong defensive unit in Kenyon Singleton (2022/LB) and Aldo Argott (2022/LB). The Eagles are winners of the last two games are looking to notch another top-25 win.
More: Lines/Predictions.
Las Cruces (1-3) at Mayfield (2-2): The most talked about rivalry in New Mexico high school football happens this Friday with the 12th ranked Las Cruces Bulldawgs and 16th ranked Mayfield Trojans. Although the two are no longer in the same classification or district this longtime rivalry promises to be a must see game.

CLASS PRESIDENT: THREE MUST-SEE PLAYERS
Ace Gonzalez, Jr., LB (Robertson HS): The junior linebacker is a new name to the scene but at 47-total tackles on the season he is quickly gaining notice. Robertson is a heavy favorite tonight against Espanola Valley.
Jahvon Maes McChriston & Eloy Vigil, Jr., LB (Bernalillo HS): The Spartans linebacker duo will look to continue their winning ways as the 4-0 Spartans take on Moriarty. McChriston and Vigil both have 5-sacks each to start the season.
Aiden Granado, Jr., RB (Silver HS): Ready for another new name on the charts this season? Junior running back Aiden Granado hits the scene after 4 games (4-0 record) for the Silver Colts; He currently has 657-yards (16.4 ypc) and a pair of touchdowns. Note: Silver is on a BYE but worth the mention - they next take on Chaparral on 9/24.
