Top-25 Schedule
#1 Cleveland vs EP-Franklin: The Storm are coming off an impressive opening win. EP-Franklin opens their season after a 2-6 year in 2020 and bring back Shay Smith (2023) who threw for 383-yards. Prediction: Cleveland 38, EP Franklin 35
#2 Rio Rancho at #3 La Cueva: 2vs3 this week as we search for the first contender to the Storm of Rio Rancho. Rio Rancho opens the season while La Cueva is looking to build off a win in the opening week. Aidan Armenta (QB/2023) and Exodus Ayers (ATH/2023) continue to shine and make the Bears the top contender? Prediction: Rio Rancho 31, La Cueva 24
#4 Las Cruces at #8 Cibola: Welcome Dallas Boyd (QB/2022) to the scene for the Dawgs as QB-1. The Bulldawgs looking to build off an upset win last week. Are they now in the conversation for another run at a title shot? Cibola will look to rebound off the loss last week. Prediction: Las Cruces 28, Cibola 20
#6 Carlsbad at #13 Goddard: Oh the excitment in this game. It gives us Javyn Morales (2023/RB) of Goddard vs Carlsbad's rising stud in QB Dane Naylor (2023). Prediction: Carlsbad 26, Goddard 24
#7 Hobbs at #16 Artesia: Artesia is coming off a loss to Carlsbad and will take on Hobbs on the rise. Nathaniel Taylor (2022) got the call at quarterback for the Bulldogs and will look to a rebound win. Hobbs riding high off a win over rival Clovis will look to make a 2-0 start. Colton Graham (2022) with over 200-yards all purpose last week. Prediction: Hobbs 30, Artesia 24
The Rest of the 25
#10 Farmington vs Belen: Farmington is the top ranked 5A team, FHS -21.5
#11 Clovis vs EP-Ysleta: Can Clovis rebound after their loss last week, Even
#14 Los Lunas vs #21 Alamogordo: Tiger King in Los Lunas. LL -14.5
#18 Roswell at #23 Lovington: Roswell looks to get more experience and Lovington looking for a BIG win and better showing, RHS -1.5
#19 Deming at Organ Mountain: We get to watch what will be a quality game in LC some names you'll see on post season awards, DHS -3.5
#22 Piedra Vista vs Valley: Valley heads north as the Panthers look to recover from a loss last week, PV-5.5
#24 Santa Fe at Moriarty: SFHS is ranked in the top-25 for the first time and they look to stay but watch the backs for the Pintos, SFHS -16
#25 Capital vs St. Michael's: Is Capital legit for the 25? St. Michael's continue their winning ways over the Jaguars? Prediction: St. Mikes -8.5
Outside the Top-25
Socorro at Miyamura: Both teams won their opener and Miyamura peaked the interest after a hot start. Socorro still the top dog in 3A?
Ruidoso vs EP-Mountain View: The Warriors are considered a contender in 4A football, they open the season tonight.
Silver at Hatch Valley: The long two-way road to Hatch for the Colts. Should win but do the Bears make it interesting.
Cobre at Robertson: Cobre might have left already if they are heading all of the way to Las Vegas. How good is Cobre and is Robertson rebuilding after a year away?
Jal at Raton: No other game has my interest more than this one. I will be looking at this one as a tell all but it does feature some next level talent on both sidelines.
