BIG THREE FROM WEEK 7
The Upsets Did Happen......From 2A, the Hagerman Bobcats (No. 11) evened their record with a 40-13 win over 6th ranked Clayton (3-3). The other upset that night was No. 10 Estancia beating 5th ranked Santa Rosa, 20-14. What does that mean for the landscape of 2A football? Well, are we likely to see a Jal and Eunice title game or will a team like Tularosa and Texico make way. For now we are certain that two of these four are most likely to play for the title but don't sleep on an underdog (5th-10th) to win the title. It'll be interesting to see who gets the final two spots.
Can we project with certainty of who will be a District Champ (DC)..... La Cueva beat Eldorado 41-0 on Friday night and that is our answer for the DC in 2-6A. Rio Rancho and Cleveland on the final night is a District Championship game - 1-6A. Farmington will go into the post season perfect from 1-4A. Back to 6A, Las Cruces and/or Centennial are most likely. Hobbs still somewhat in the convo but it'll be a wait and see. Carlsbad losing 42-13 lost the steam that they had early.
Battle for November.... Bubbles popped this week; Santa Fe, Carlsbad, Valley, and Bernalillo. Portales is on the fringe of being completely out after falling to Dexter, 25-21. The Portales Rams will have to upset a team in district play or make sure that they finish at the very least third but that might not be enough still.
SUNDAY STUDS
Class President: Zach Vigil, RB (2022/Rio Rancho HS): We had him as the top-ranked RB entering the season and he delivered on Friday night with 339-yards rushing with 4-touchdowns.
Vice President: Joseph Perez, LB-TE (2022/Lovington HS): Well, how could we not pick Perez who on top of 10 tackles, a fumble recovery and an offensive TD won homecoming king!
Treasure: Juan Fuentes, K-RB (2022/Dexter HS): Kicked a 45-yard FG on Friday night in a big win over Portales. Fuentes does it all for the Demons; he's thrown a passing TD, he's rushed or over 6-touchdowns, has over 100-yards receiving, and kicks the ball.
