Deal/No Deal: We can get an early shift in the NMPreps 6A Team Rankings with three top-ten matchups. Las Cruces (No. 8) and Volcano Vista (No. 4) gives a battle of two teams that have a shot at a semifinal spot, Volcano
brings a senior loaded team while the Bulldawgs have a revamped roster after suffering losses to graduation.

Top Game: The La Cueva Bears (No. 6) feature a very underrated roster of next-level talent and the Cibola Cougars (No. 3) enter with their highest rank ever. The Cougars also feature the top-ranked quarterback in Aden Chavez and you can turn up Tupac's "All Eyes on Me" because we are all waiting to see this game.

Power Shift: The Roswell Coyotes (No. 5) are technically still the defending champ but the Farmington Scorpions (No. 1) could also claim that title. Roswell winner of the 2018 and 2019 state championships while Farmington went 5-0 and winner of the 5A Elite Bowl during the Spring. Roswell will feature a handful of new prospects on the board while Farmington brings a high-powered offense - could become a shootout.

Love Thy Neighbor: Carlsbad (No. 9) and Artesia (No. 4) square off in the Eddy County Rivalry. The Cavemen have plenty of excitement returning this season and could be a dark horse in 6A football. Artesia enters the Jeremy Maupin era and we wait to see how the Dogs rebound after two under .500 seasons. Staying on the eastern side of the state Hobbs (No. 11) travels to Clovis (No. 5) with hopes of getting upset this season after a close call during the Spring.

Most Intriguing Game: Raton and Eunice will square off in small-school football, creating a matchup of two very talented squads. Eunice has been key lately while the Raton Tigers bring a very talented roster. This one has piqued our interest the most and could end up the game of the week. Eunice will be going through a reload but years of winning should spill over into the year.
