NMPreps Week 8 Bold Statements: Grine Unleashing the Chaos in 6A
Welcome to Week 8, where the predictions are as bold as a bear paw and the wordplay is only slightly less fierce! Let’s dive into the wild world of New Mexico high school football with some truly bold (and perhaps ridiculous) statements. You may want to buckle up for this one—it’s going to get punny.
La Cueva Bears completely maul the Los Lunas Tigers in a mercy rule game.
The Bears didn’t just beat the Tigers, they put them in a zoo exhibit. Los Lunas barely had time to growl before La Cueva unleashed a full-on mauling, sending the game into a mercy-rule meltdown. Somebody call animal control—this one’s already over.
The Farmington Scorpions sting the Hawks in the first quarter, but the Hawks prevail by three touchdowns.
Farmington came in like a scorpion ready to strike—first quarter stinger and all! But the Hawks just shook it off, stretched their wings, and flew away with three touchdowns, leaving the Scorpions' sting feeling more like a tickle by the end.
Clovis gets to double digits vs Organ Mountain but falls by 40.
Clovis finally cracks double digits! The bad news? Organ Mountain treated those 10 points like spare change, and handed Clovis a 40-point "thanks for playing" consolation. At least they’re inching closer… right?
Santa Fe and Atrisco Heritage play for their last win of the season, a Demon stumbles to a hungry Jaguar by 20.
It's desperation mode for both teams, but in this battle of mythological creatures, it’s the hungry Jaguar that sinks its teeth into a Demon that trips on its own pitchfork. Santa Fe stumbles, and Atrisco picks up their final feast of the season—by 20 points.
The Storm rains down on the Cougars; kitties don’t like getting wet—Cleveland mercy rules Cibola.
When it rains, it pours. And when you’re a Cougar caught in a Cleveland Storm, there’s no umbrella big enough. These kitties definitely didn’t like getting wet—Cleveland brings the thunder and a mercy rule flood for Cibola.
Can the Matadors pull the rug out on the Eagles? Playoffs on the line—three’s a charm for Sandia over Eldorado?
I’ve picked Sandia more times than I’d like to admit, but this time I’ve got a feeling. Will the Matadors finally pull the rug out from under the Eagles, or will I be the fool again? Playoffs are on the line and Sandia’s due—third time’s the charm… right?
Centennial Hawks thrash the Hobbs Eagles—no flight zone in Las Cruces.
This one’s simple: Hawks own the sky, Eagles get grounded. Centennial enforces a strict “no-flight zone” in Las Cruces, and Hobbs’ wings never even had a chance to flap. Hawks by a thrashing.
Alamogordo Tigers look to finish off the Carlsbad Cavemen for good.
Carlsbad limped in after being ambushed by a Knight, but they’re walking into an even worse fate. The Tigers smell blood and are ready to turn out the Cavemen’s lights for good, possibly sending Carlsbad’s playoff hopes straight into extinction.
West Mesa Mustangs stampede over Albuquerque Bulldogs—‘bad dog!’
We had the Bulldogs riding high at 4-1, but here come the West Mesa Mustangs, ready to stampede all over the dog park. The Mustangs say "bad dog" to Albuquerque and gallop away with a 14-point win.
Rio Rancho Rams send Piedra Vista Panthers back to the NW with a 25-point loss.
Piedra Vista puffed their chest out after Week 1, but the Rams are about to send these Panthers limping back to the Northwest. It’s a bad week to be a cat in 6A football, and Rio Rancho’s handing out L’s like candy on Halloween—by 25 points, no less.
And there you have it—our boldest, most unscientific, and entirely-too-witty predictions for Week 8! Let’s see how many of these statements turn into headlines, or if we’ll be eating our words come next week. Either way, it’s going to be a wild ride!
