Good morning, we are back with some Saturday morning coffee. We breakdown the news from Friday night and all the updates from across New Mexico. #nmpreps
TRIPS RIGHT: TOP THREE STORIES FROM FRIDAY
1. Lynn-Sanity: Okay, Jeremy Lin (former Knick) can keep that name. We had to give some love though as the unranked Roswell Coyotes get their first win of the season over ninth ranked Carlsbad, 21-14. Keep in mind that Roswell has played one of the most difficult schedules, during a rebuild year.
2. OT Magic: Another Top-25 team fell on Friday night as the unranked Belen Eagles improved to 2-2 on the season with a 20-14 overtime win over visiting Piedra Vista (No. 19). The Eagles threw the ball to the corner on their first play of OT to secure a 20-14 win.
3. 5A Powers and a Massive Storm: Farmington (No. 3/No. 1 in 5A), Goddard (No. 4/No. 2 in 5A) and Los Lunas (No. 7/No. 3 in 5A) all move along with wins. Farmington with a quality win over a very good Durango, Colorado squad. Goddard scores at the end to beat Hobbs (30-27) and Los Lunas takes out Cibola (26-19). Also, in Artesia, the number one team in the state the Cleveland Storm dropped 70-points in a 41-point win over #13 Artesia (70-29).
FRIDAY NIGHT SUPERLATIVES: YEARBOOK STYLE
Best Duo: Quarterback Aidan Armenta (2022) and WR Exodus Ayers (2023) connected on a pair of touchdowns as the La Cueva Bears had a shutout win on Friday night over Sandia, 35-0. The first one was a 22-yard touchdown pass.
Most Likely to Succeed: Make it 6 in a row as the Las Cruces Bulldawgs take another win over rival Mayfield. Quarterback Dallas Boyd (2022) and Elijah Ogas (2022) totaled for over 250-yards on the ground. Ogas with four TDs (145-rushing yards).
Life of the Party: Belen quarterback Diego Espinoza (2022) hit Elijah Romero (2023) for a game winning touchdown in overtime to give the unranked Eagles a win over No. 19 Piedra Vista.
Most Upbeat Attitude: Los Lunas quarterback Paul Cieremans (2023) answered on the big stage. He had a 50-yard touchdown pass to Emilio Mora early in the contest to cement the Tigers win.
School President: Evan Wysong (Cleveland). The Storm quarterback, rushed for a pair of TDs, threw for a TD, and oh yeah also kicks the FG's. He started the night with a 53-yard TD run. The rest of the presidents cabinet includes a 61-yard TD run by Nick Trujillo (Had another 12-TD run), Josh Perry, RB (2022) added three touchdown runs. Add in a 52-yard TD run by Jaiden Nunez and the top team in New Mexico moves to 5-0 on the season.
