Thursday Night Preview, District Play Begins
By: Kyle Henderson of NMPreps.com
Onate vs. Mayfield (Field of Dreams)
The Knights may have started 0-4 this season, but have won their last two match ups running away. They beat West Mesa 49-0 and last week beat Rio Grande 54-0. The Trojans have lost three in a row: Alamogordo, Eldorado, and last week Manznao defeated the Trojans in an upset shocker. Truth be told, if Mayfield was to lose to Onate tonight their 15-season run of making the playoffs could quite possibly come to an end. Needless to say, it's a very important district opener.
West Mesa @ Valley (Community)
This was supposed to be one West Mesa's best teams in years, but at 1-5 their preseason hype was just hype. With that said, West Mesa and Valley are both 0-0 in district and all you have to do from here on out is win. Last week West Mesa lost to Volcano Vista 43-7. Valley has won two in a row beating La Cueva 18-15 and picked up win number two on the row beating Aztec 62-40 thanks to 200-yards rushing and 5 touchdowns from Michael Barboa. Valley is again, the favorite to win the district, they cannot afford to be upset tonight.
Bernalillo @ Del Norte (Milne)
While the talk in district 2-5A is focused on Espanola and Capital, those teams would likely also sit at 2-4 if they had played Del Norte's schedule. Their losses come against St. Pius X who is 6-0, Centennial who is 5-0, Los Lunas who is 2-3, lost to La Cueva last week 38-7, yes all those teams mentioned would likely beat Espanola and Capital. Tonight, Del Norte is a 4 touchdown maybe even more favorite against winless Bernalillo. Here comes Del Norte...
Clovis JV @ Texico
It's been hard to gauge Texico this season. One week they beat Santa Rosa, then lose to Tucumcari, then beat Clayton, then get blown out by Farwell, Texas, and lost again last week to Capitan. These games against Clovis JV are usually close, Texico can't afford anymore loses, good news is this game has no affect on their district play resume.
