Coach of the Week: Dale Hooper, Alamogordo
In his third year as Head Coach at Alamogordo, Dale Hooper did something no other Tiger coach could since 1993: Beat Mayfield. As you watched the highlights right here on NMPreps.com, the Tigers defeated Mayfield 46-28 before a standing room only crowd at Tiger Stadium. Hooper originally from Grants, New Mexico and a graduate of Western New Mexico went 1-9 in year one, 5-5 in year two, and currently has the Tigers ranked No. 2 overall in the State of New Mexico by NMPreps.com in year three.

In week 1 Alamogordo blasted Valencia 53-, then they ran through Los Lunas 46-7, then beat Highland 59-6, and the State was still looking for a statement win. We’ll the critics were silenced Friday Night as Alamogordo defeated Mayfield 46-28. On the season, Alamogordo has scored 204 points per game (51.0 Average) and their defense has also been exceptional allowing just 41 points per game (10.25 Average).
