The Colts enter this Friday Night 4A marquee match up at 3-0 after a 49-6 win over Mesilla Valley. The Tigers moved to 4-0 and have plenty of momentum after beating Lordsburg a 3A contender 34-27. Watch for Hot Springs duo Darin Wetly at quarterback and Running Back Nick Moreno. Needless to say, this game will be a big win for either team.

The Cardinals who started the year 0-2, have won two in a row including an impressive 25-20 over St. Mike’s in Santa Fe last weekend. Watch for Ajray Ortiz on offense and Francisco Arguello at backer who already has 45 total tackles this year.
