Tune in tomorrow.

SOUTH

We head to Las Cruces for a bubble match-up. Las Cruces struggling to a 1-4 season, a tough non-district schedule, hopes to turn things up as we enter October, aka District season. Alamogordo (3-3) much improved this season hoping to add a signature win to their resume and increasing their chances at a 2022 post season bid.

Other games taking place: Chaparral (0-6) plays host to El Paso-Cathedral (TX) who is playing their second of three games in New Mexico this season.

SOUTHEAST

The game of the week is expected to have over 15,000 fans on hand as the No. 6 Hobbs Eagles take on the No. 3 Centennial Hawks. Hobbs enters the contest with a perfect 6-0 record and looking to make claim for a district title shot. Centennial sits at 4-1 on the season and spent time ranked number one in the NMPreps weekly team rankings.

Keep an eye on some Hobbs next level prospects in Kenyon Singleton (2023) and Omar Argott (2023) in this one. Singleton is quietly becoming a top name to know with 80 total tackles on the year. The dynamic duo of Daniel Hernandez (2023/QB) and Mikah Gutierrez (2023/RB) continues to lead Centennial; they accounted for 7 touchdowns in their last game, a win over Organ Mountain.

All eyes are on the southeast corner tonight as we have the 2A showdown between No. 1 Jal (7-0) and No. 2 Eunice (5-1). Bragging rights in the southeast corner has belonged to Eunice but Jal is hoping to make it the year of the Panther. Jal has two players that are next level ready in Alexavier Carreon (2023) and Jacob Lujan (2023).

Other games taking place: Clovis (1-6) looks to make it two in a row as they host Santa Fe (1-5). NMMI (4-3) and Ruidoso (6-1) deserves some love, although Ruidoso should move along with ease behind studs like Kaden Sago, Cooper Pritchett, Dalton Trapp, and Gavon Hall.

CENTRAL

Must-see 4A football taking place at Socorro High School between No. 1 Bloomfield (6-0) and No. 3 Silver (5-1). Aidan Granado (2023) for Silver and Ryan Sharpe (2023) for Bloomfield take center stage in this battle for the 1-seed.

In Albuquerque we will have Cibola (6-0) look to remain perfect as they take on neighbor Volcano Vista (5-2). Cibola is ranked a spot back at No. 5, VV at No. 4. Two of the top-5 quarterbacks in the state will square off in Elliot Pasket-Bell (VV) and Aidan Chavez (Cibola).

Other games: Sandia (3-3) continues it's post season hopes and will look to beat a struggling Eldorado (1-6) squad. In 5A Highland (4-1) will look to flex on a winless Pojoaque Valley (0-5) squad. In 4A football Moriarty (4-2) has to avoid a let down against a 1-5 St. Pius X Sartans team.
