Game with Cleveland is official. Friday September 23 in the Bowl I believe. I know the Bowl for sure but the date may be off. We had to drop Belen because we needed to fit Carlsbad in for the first game of the season. either we drop Carlsbad and play Belen or we play Carlsbad and drop Belen.
The actual redistricting was done by the Superintendents in this state and the southern portion were the ones behind how Clovis, Hobbs and Carlsbad were split. Clovis, Hobbs and Carlsbad admins were happy with the outcome. No plans to appeal at all. The only people who don't like it are the fans. Coaches are happy.
It looks like Goddard is dropping Hobbs and Clovis from their schedule in favor of playing Chaparral and another 5A school to be named later.
Times are a changing as they always do. We used to schedule Texas schools every year as did Clovis and now it's tough to schedule them with how they have done their redistricting in Texas. You think we are crazy just go see how they do things over there. Leaves you scratching your head. Year in year out we were playing teams like Pecos, Kermit, Seminole, Fabens and such. We don't play El Paso schools because of the way they treat us before the game with their facilities.
Schedules are getting done now and lots of new matchups not seen before. Some old matchups being lost because of redistricting and scheduling conflicts.
Clovis and Hobbs will play the first game of the season.
