Saturday Morning Coffee: Week 5
NMPreps rundown in New Mexico high school football. What have you missed this far into the week and what to watch on Saturday. #nmpreps
ABC'S - THURSDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT
Atrisco Heritage and West Mesa didn't disappoint on offense, totaling for 113 points between the two. Atrisco Heritage improved their record to (4-1) on the season with the 59-54 win. Elijah Brody finished the night with 170-yards rushing along with 300-yards passing in the loss. Dean Marquez and Manny Sedillo led the charge for the Jaguars of Atrisco. Marquez threw for five touchdowns and three of those went to Sedillo.
Capital improves to 3-2 on the season with a 17-0 win over Albuquerque Academy. Quarterback Julian Munoz (2023) has been the spark for the Jaguars this season, he scored a rushing TD, little brother Juan Munoz scoring the other.
Cleveland has weapons. We all knew that. The triple-headed monster on offense of Nic Trujillo, Evan Wysong, and Josh Perry did some work. The night belonged to Josh Perry who rushed for over 240-yards and three touchdowns. Three names on the other side of the ball also deserve some high praise --- Stratton Shufelt (2024), Isaac Medrano (2024), and Chuka Tutman (2024) are as dangerous as it comes. They gave Artesia issues all night. Artesia quarterback Nye Estrada finished with over 375-yards and 4-touchdowns as they drop to 3-2 on the season. Cleveland improved to (4-1) on the year.
Estancia maintains a playoff spot with a 35-6 win over Hagerman, Thursday night. Ja'Brae Boyer adds to his season, 192 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns. He passed for 130 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Las Cruces quarterback Matt Lashley threw for a touchdown and rushed for another in a 35-7 win over rival Mayfield. The Las Cruces Bulldawgs earned their first win of the season improving to 1-3. Mayfield drops to 2-3 on the season. Receiver Brain Coyle scored the lone touchdown for the Trojans.
Organ Mountain is playing for something bigger than the playoffs this season, but they are also moving into a team destined for a bid. Sitting at 3-2 with the win over Gadsden on Thursday night helps the case. Logan Tarango (QB), Fabian Lozoya (RB) and Erik Dominguez (WR) have become an offensive threat to know.
RAPID FIRE
First Dub: Eldorado escapes Clovis, 28-27, after the Wildcats missed a game tying FG in the final minutes of the game.
Playoff Seats: Deming won 51-20 over Belen, making the clear line between the top-8 and the rest of the teams in 5A football.
Top-4: Hobbs has been sitting and waiting all while taking care of business. They beat Rio Rancho, 30-20, to improve their record to (5-0).
Top-2: Piedra Vista has been coming in at No. 1 in the coaches poll. They earned the first big win against a 5A team beating Goddard, 47-29. We mentioned this preseason that they had the potential to be a threat, but we didn't see them being this good.
