HIGHLAND HORNETS
Head Coach: Phillip Lovato
2019 Record: 6-5 overall, 1-2 district
2019 Playoffs: First Round (Lost to Piedra Vista 55-15)
Key Returning Players: Nathan Lopez (RB/2022)
Review: Highland High School as a whole had a fantastic year in sports, especially if you looked at the programs four years ago. The Highland football program is no exception as the Hornets were a known cellar dweller. The Hornets finished above .500 and reached the playoffs last season. Those two things are HUGE for the program.
Preview: The Hornets have struggled with numbers early on but they do return a spark in running back Nathan Lopez (2022) who played extremely well as a sophomore last season. Their new district features Belen, Del Norte, Los Lunas and Valley (corrected).
Early Prediction: 4-6 wins
Early Playoff Prediction: Border Line
Early Spring Ranking: Ten Plus
*NMPreps Power Rankings will release later this Spring.
