Make-or-Break Type of Season: No. 33 West Mesa
The West Mesa Mustangs went 4-6 last and could be due for a breakout season in a very winnable district for the Mustangs. Right now we lean more the the Make side of this conversation as a 6-win season and high possibility for a district championship as they are gaining steam. Read the quick outlook on the Mustangs.
My vote to win a state championship: No. 38 Lordsburg
The Mavericks have the stud quarterback, a top running back and receiver to make an improvment on a 9-4 season in which they reached the semi-finals. If you have stock to but the Mavericks could be a hot buy as they drop down to 2A football. Read the quick outlook on the Mavericks.
Most likely to defend their State Championship: No. 31 Hatch Valley

The Contender: No. 34 Robertson
The Cardinals fell to Hatch in the 2015 State Title and could be the likely favorite to many picks out there with the return of a stud young quarterback. They have a handful of offensive weapons to gain several votes. Read the quick outlook on the Cardinals.
Most likely to return to the post season: No. 36 Del Norte
