Don't Expect Much Excitement Out of 5A Football

The favorites should move along with ease today; #1 Artesia vs #8 Valley, #2 Roswell vs #10 Gadsden, and #3 Piedra Vista vs #6 Mayfield. The top three teams in the state will remain that way heading into the quarterfinals. Remarkable season for both Valley and Gadsden though as it will help build those football programs for success in the future.

Easy as 1, 2, 3 in 4A Football Today

Silver (1) will play host to Aztec (8) in what could be a close game but overall the Colts program is going to be tough to stop. The running backs are tough as nails. Moriarty (7) and Bloomfield (2) should go as planned with the Bobcats moving into the semifinals with ease. Taos (3) and Albuquerque Academy (6) has the potential to be exciting but Taos has been on a mission as of late.

Clash in 3A Football

Robertson (3) and Raton (6) was intense the first time around this season. Will the second time provide as much in the rematch? Raton has one of the toughest running backs in the state but Robertson and head coach Gonzales play their best football in November. St. Michael's (4) and Thoreau (5) square off in Santa Fe. Was last weeks Thoreau win the first playoff win?

Red or Blue

A twist on the famous New Mexico question gives us the 1-seed Jal Panthers and the 4-seed Eunice Cardinals. Will the Eunice Cardinals crash the title run for the Jal Panthers who have been unstoppable all season?

State Championship Handed Out Today

Lordsburg and Fort Sumner for the 8-man state championship today. There is some solid talent on the field for both teams and it should be a great game to watch.
