Today the NFL sent souvenir golden footballs to 3,000 high schools that had players in past superbowls. Timmy Smith, who graduated from Hobbs in 1981 and then went on to play for Texas Tech and for the Redskins in their 1988 superbowl victory, was present at the school for the presentation. Timmy Smith set a record that still stands today at 204 rushing yards during the superbowl.
Were there any other high schools in New Mexico that received one of these footballs? I'd imagine several have.
