Rio Grande (0-0) at Atrisco Heritage (1-0):
The season official opens for both teams tonight as the Atrisco Heritage Jaguars will be led by quarterback Myles Lane (2023), a junior that will look to carry the Jaguars far this season. Rio Grande an unknown (not even a roster listed) will look to better an 0-2 Spring season that had them outscored 77 to 6. Pick: Atrisco Heritage. Line: AH -33.5

No. 9 Volcano Vista (0-1) at Manzano (0-1): Both teams looking for their first win of the season after suffering a loss during opening weekend. Volcano Vista will be led by rising prospect Josh Gerardo (QB/2022) who is coming off an impressive showing at QB-1 with 284-yards and three touchdowns last week. Jared Melfi (QB/2022) and Alejandro Alvarado (WR/2022) look to connect again this weekend for a shot at an upset against another top-25 team. Pick: Volcano Vista. Line: VV -19.5

West Las Vegas (1-0) at Santa Rosa (0-1): One of the teams that has peaked the interest is the West Las Vegas Dons of 3A football with their rising quarterback in CJ Perea. The freshman quarterback threw for 165 yards, 2 touchdowns along with rushing for another 73. They also have a two-headed monster with running back Damien Gallegos (2022). Santa Rosa comes into the contest after suffering a 45-12 loss to Dexter during the opening week. Pick: West Las Vegas. Line: WL -15.5
