Those are cool cans, big fan of John Wayne myself.
I got an old Coors light Chicago Bears Super Bowl can from 1986, not been opened. Maybe if they win another one I can try it ha ha.

Just a quick question. The SUPER class that is coming up, how are they progressing in size and speed

I'll try to answer, they already have some good size kids, tall, whether they keep growing I don't know.
They made it to Border Conference Championship game in Basketball, they lost to Clovis. 1 kid for Clovis had an unbelievable game, he had 40 plus points I think, he couldn't miss. A couple freshman are playing varsity baseball and been key contributors.
I wouldn't be shocked if a couple sophs end up contributing on varsity football team next year.

The speed is there there’s several that are running varsity track and qualified for state in several of the relays and one of the freshman won district in the shot put

One week away from the new season!! Expectations are extremely high this year….. Interested to see how any of the changes from last season affect things (positive or negative)!! Examples: Saxon, Olivas, and Bowden- Ridge being possibly the best offensive line coach in the state will probably be very difficult to replace. O-Line only gave up 4 sacks last year. Olivas is one of the most loved coaches, and brings the most energy to the team. Greathouse- will NOT be replaced. Someone will step up and fill the role, but obviously not at that kind of production. Even with just a decent year receiving, Greathouse would have probably broke every career school record. You don’t just replace those type of guys.
I think everyone is expecting a great season…. I’m pretty confident, barring injuries and keeping the focus on improving every week - that we’ll see a Roswell/Artesia title game at Bulldog Bowl in November.

I think as long as we aren't complacent we will be in the mix, yeah I could see Roswell/Artesia as the front runners to be in the title game.
losing greathouse is a bummer, but I think we can find someone to step up in that role like you said, some talented young sophs coming, that's exactly how greathouse came in and by mid year was making an impact.

LB’s should be decent….. Wesson is a returning All State Middle Linebacker. Josiah Rodriguez is being moved down from safety / undersized but a great tackler and very aggressive. Grant Johnson is the new up and coming stud / Good size and great work ethic (Older brother was an animal a couple years ago at MLB). May be someone else to find as well… I’m hearing there might be a tweek in the defensive scheme.
We lost all 4 starting D-Lineman; but Grantham will be an absolute nightmare for offensive linemen. New position coach here.
DB’s will be the defensive strength- Jesse Armendariz, Jaron Watkins, David Hammond, Phillip Finley all have loads of experience and are proven players. New position coach here.
O-Line has 3 very good returners, which is a great start. Ricky Armendariz will be dominate on the left side. But the other two spots might take a few weeks to figure out the best fit. New position coach here, trying to replace a legend (Bowden retired).
LeRoch is a next level, tough as nails runner. He will shine as the feature back in 2023.
Estrada at Quarterback is on pace to be a top 5 all time passer in school history.
Saiz and Juan Diego Duran are proven serious threats to score at any time from the outside receiver spots. Very dangerous.
Inside slot is the huge question mark. Not a single senior in the bunch. Couple kids looking for playing time that came up in the system playing at different positions are trying to learn at warp speed. My opinion this is the make/break spot for the 2023 season. Will the young bucks develop by playoff time? This is a very difficult position to pick up on the fly, and vital to the offenses’ success!
Coach Olivas is taking a smaller role in the program (this year), for personal reasons. His intensity and what he does for the special teams unit is irreplaceable.
Side Note: Class of 2024 notable losses….
Peyton Greathouse -(arguably one of the best receivers ever at Artesia)- moved to Tennessee this year. Chase Bogle- (D1 prospect at LB)- moved to Texas in 9th grade. Jaden Kennard - top receiver in the class through middle school, moved to Texas in 9th grade. Currently a receiver at Lubbock Cooper. Also 2 starting offensive linemen and 1 starting linebacker moved to Texas during the Covid shutdown so they could continue to play athletics. Never got any of them back, and all have found success elsewhere! Could have actually been one of the best Artesia teams ever!
