ALAMOGORDO TIGERS (2-8 overall, 0-3): The Tigers have their teeth cut out for them moving back into 6A football from 5A. The defense returns some experience as they look to be a dark horse to finish in the top three - Damon Mayberry (2023) and Ryan Stovall (2023) are the first names on that defense that come to mind.
CARLSBAD CAVEMEN (3-7 overall, 1-3): After a 2-1 start the Cavemen only find a single win the rest of the way. Usher in new head coach Oliver Soukup, the former New Mexico State University Aggie assistant coach, and the Cavemen hope to make their way back into playoff contention.
CENTENNIAL HAWKS (8-2 overall, 4-0): Perhaps one of the more consistent programs in 6A football as head coach Aaron Ocampo has created a winning program. Check out 2023 prospects Devyn Woods and Izaiah Gonzales on defense this season.
HOBBS EAGLES (6-6 overall, 2-2): The Eagles suffer the loss of their quarterback from last season; Colton Graham threw for over 2,200 yards. However, coming off a state playoff win in 2021 and a duo of Kaden Trevino and Ethan Vanlandingham could have them flirting with the top three spots in this district again, maybe more.
LAS CRUCES BULDAWGS (7-5 overall, 3-1): Las Cruces didn't win the district last season but a couple of playoff wins and semifinals appearance deemed the season a huge success. Zayke Hawkins (2024/WR) and Siddeeq Shabazz (2023/S) are a couple early names for the Dawgs.
ORGAN MOUNTAIN KNIGHTS (4-6 overall, 0-4): The Knights are no longer at the bottom of the classification and this season they hope to continue improving this program that sat in the cellar for a few years. They graduated some key pieces and will look to RB Joe Estrada (2023).
