No. 3 Volcano Vista 36, No. 2 La Cueva 25: The defending champs jumped out to an early 10-0 lead to open the 2019 season against the Hawks of Volcano Vista. Dominic Camacho the La Cueva kicker would put in three field goals for the Bears that struggled to get into the end zone after moving the ball well. Austin Smith would hit Connor O'Toole for a few long, nice catches with two touchdowns. Volcano Vista would respond however and received four rushing touchdowns from new quarterback Diego Pavia. The Hawks are a run first team this season and between the backs along with a mobile quarterback, it's definitely their strength. Third string QB Nathan Sanchez also became a story as he filled in and closed out the win for the Hawks as Pavia went out with an injury. The La Cueva Bears fall to 0-1 on the season with the Hawks moving to 1-0.
1st Q (Dominic Camacho, FG (3-0 LC), Austin Smith to Connor O'Toole, LC, 28-yard TD pass (10-0 LC), Diego Pavia, VV, 6 yard rushing TD (10-7 LC), 2nd Q (Dominic Camacho, LC, 23 yard FG (13-7 LC), Diego Pavia, VV, 7 yard rushing TD (14-13 VV), Dominic Camacho, LC, 32 yard FG (16-14 LC). 3rd Q Diego Pavia, VV, 13 yard TD rush (21-16 VV).

No. 9 Eldorado 51, West Mesa 0
As predicted this one was all ninth ranked Eldorado as they would route the younger West Mesa squad, 51-0 ending things early at Milne. Quarterback Nick Petty would toss a few touchdown passes (44 yard to Xavier Gibson & 57 yard to Zack Hoffman) showing some new flashes of their new OC. Elijah Goree (44 yard rushing TD), Frankie Halayay (20 yard pick six), Ben West (3 yard rushing TD) would all get into the end zone for the Eagles. Hoffman also scored on an 8-yard TD run in the first, getting into the end zone twice. Eldorado moves to 1-0 on the season with West Mesa dropping to 0-1.
No. 25 Eunice 48, Hobbs-JV 12
The season opened with a 60 yard touchdown pass be Mason Caperton to player of the night in Avante Stevens. The two connected again a few plays later for the second score of the night. Stevens then went to work on defense with a pick-6 for the Eunice Cardinals who extend their win streak to 26-games with the win. Stevens who scored six touchdowns would end the night with a 80-yard touchdown run. The Cardinals are now 1-0 on the season.
