BELEN EAGLES
Head Coach: Ty House
2019 Record: 3-8 overall, 2-1 district
2019 Post Season: First Round (Lost to Deming 42-6)
Key Leaving Pieces: Luke Aragon (QB), Sefe Aragon (LB)
Key Returning Pieces: Anthony Roybal (RB), Gavin Chavez (WR)
Review: The Belen Eagles experienced their first losing season since the 2015 season under then head coach John Lerma. The Eagles entered the 2019 season under a new head coach in Ty House, a former Hobbs assistant coach, and the difference between the start of his tenure and that of former Belen head coach Greg Henington (2016-2018; 27-9 overall record) was a true rebuild.
House not only has to establish his system but he will have to do it trying to get experience after they have graduated much of their talent of the 2016-2018 span.
Preview: The Eagles will still be building. They will be looking for an identity, looking for on-the-field leaders, while developing some of the talent. Will House be a pass first coach or does he go to the run? They seemed to lean more on the pass and they will have to replace Luke Aragon who has since graduated. They return Anthony Roybal (2021) who rushed for 700-yards last season on 100-carries.
Prediction: 3/4 wins
Ranking: Above 10
