Dexter Senior Quarterback Dominic Lomeli has thrown for 243-yards and 4 touchdowns on the season. For the Rattlers, they are 1-2 and still a bit of a question mark beating Texico in week 2, but losing to Estancia 51-0.
Estancia 3-0 @ Capitan 2-1
The Bears are playing at a very high level and actually are close to being ranked in the NMPreps.com Top 25 after a 51-0 win over Tucumcari. The Capitan Tigers are 2-1 after a 37-0 win over Jal. Sophomore Mosies Anaya has ran for over 300-yards and Adam Lujan has ran for 296 for Estancia.

Hot Springs 3-0 @ Lordsburg 2-1
Big test for Hot Springs who is now 3-0 on the season after another no-contest win over Thoreau. The Tigers have outscored the comp 114-6 in three games, Lordsburg is clearly the best team they have played all season. The Mavericks are 2-1 after losing to Hatch 63-29.
Laguna 1-1 @ Socorro 1-1
The Laguna Acoma Hawks lost to West Las Vegas last weekend 35-14 and now sit at 1-1 on the season. The Warriors who won their first game in two-seasons back in week 1 defeating Shiprock 66-30 lost to Bloomfield in week 3 56-6.
Portales 3-0 @ Eunice 1-2
The Rams seem to have something special going on this season, last week they rolled past Texico 36-0, the week before that they beat Lovington 48-12. Running Back Bronte Staugaard has ran for 592-yards and 9 touchdowns in two games. The Cardinals earned their first win of the season defeating Tularosa 32-13.

Robertson 1-2 @ St. Mike’s 3-0
The Cardinals won their first game of the season defeating Santa Rosa 28-12 in week 3 and now have another tough test against St. Mike’s on Saturday. This is not a make or break game, but there are few things better for a Robertson fan than beating St. Mike’s, especially in Santa Fe. The Horsemen have scored 91 points in their last two games, last weekend they beat Taos 42-17, the week before they beat Capital 49-20. Watch for Chross Jaramillo as a multi-spot athlete, Xavier Vigil at running back and backer is a play-maker.
Ruidoso 0-3 @ Pojoaque 0-3
Someone has to win this game right? The defending 4A state champs are hurting due to losses to graduation, but they have also played a tough schedule losing to Roswell, Hatch, and Lovington. The Elks have been blowing out in their last two games by a combined score of 106-0, last week they lost to Espanola 54-0.
Texico 1-2 @ Clayton 2-1
Not sure many expected Texico to start off the season 1-2 with a loss to Tucumcari and last weekend the Wolverines were held scoreless against Portales losing 36-0. The Yellowjackets are now 2-1 under first year Head Coach Dustin Tippit after a tough loss to Sunray, Texas 32-22. The Yellowjackets are led by Justin Taylor who has rushed for 502-yards and 7 touchdowns in 3 games.
Tularosa 0-3 @ Cobre 1-2
The Wildcats are off to a very slow start and lost to Eunice last weekend 32-13. This weekend they take on Cobre, who reached the 4A state finals just one-year ago. The Indians are now 1-2 after losing to Ysleta in a shootout 40-36.
