Gadsden (1-3) at Organ Mountain (2-2): 7 p.m. Both teams used to battle out of the cellar in the 6A southern district. Gadsden now plays in 5A football and trying to play its-way into the playoffs. This win would help. Tomas Herrera (2023/QB) is playing well with over 600 offensive yards this season and 6-touchdowns. One name that will continue to grow with the Knights success will be Christian Valenzula a defensive beast.
West Las Vegas (2-2) at Rio Grande (0-3): The Dons suffered a bad loss last week but had to do it without top ranked QB CJ Perea (2025) who should be back this week after sitting out due to concussion protocol. Rio Grande is looking to end a losing streak and look to players Zavien Carreon (2024/QB) and Alejandro Quintana. (2025/RB)
Eunice (3-1) at Dexter (1-3): Elijah Melancon (2026) is the new name under center for the Eunice Cardinals which has a long list of successful players that have played quarterback for the program.

Estancia (1-3) at Hagerman (2-2): Jocking for playoff position the Hagerman Bobcats and Estancia Bears battle it out at Hagerman High School. The Bears have a duo in Josh Calhoon and Ja'Brae Boyer guiding the team on offense this season. Calhoon is averaging over 130 yards rushing per game. Ulises Miranda Jr has been the name for the Bobcats offense. Boni Rodriguez guides the way for the defense. This could be the must-see game of the night won in the final quarter.
