Alright alright, been waiting on this one since the schedule came out in the spring. This one reads like a heavy weight fight. Defending 5A Champs Artesia (4-0)take on the defending 6A Champs the Cleveland Storm (4-0) In a 1st ever matchup between the 2 schools at Bulldog Bowl this Friday Night. Both Schools come in with I'm guessing 2 of the biggest win streaks in NM Football currently in the top divisions. Cleveland has won 17 Games in a row, Artesia has won 11 Games in a row. Somethings gotta give Friday Night. I suspect Cleveland is not as tough as the previous year as they were almost untouchable last season but still field a strong team this year and no doubt probably our toughest opponent we will face this year. Here is their schedule so far. @ Onate 24-14 W vs La Cueva 38-37 W vs Las Cruces 49-42 W @ Centennial 49-33 W I'll have more later on the match-up.

I don't know about the rest of Artesia but I'm sick of damn storms. That hail storm this weekend caused me some damage. To Hell with them lol

I realize that Artesia played two weak teams the past two Friday, but nevertheless, the defense was outstanding. Hopefully they have that time of defense that stopped Valencia and Deming and it will stop and calm the storm.

Head coach for the storm is Heath Ridenour former Lovington wildcat. He knows what the atmosphere will be like and will have his storm ready. Bulldogs need to shut there team down from the word go if they want a win. First four games for the dogs have been in the rhelm of odd starting with Carlsbad and now the harder part of the schedule is here. This Friday will be a true test of both teams. Good luck Bulldogs.

Hello Dogs, I've been waiting for this thread to start. Here's my take on your game with Cleveland. I've seen them play 3 times this season and not to make you feel over confident but I see you winning by 1-2 scores. I hope I'm right. They have a massive offensive line and you will need to pressure their quarterback but as far as their defensive goes you can pick them apart through the air!! If you can give your QB a little time you can throw on them all night. I believe they lost Nieto (their little but fast RB) to a elbow injury against Centennial but he could possibly play, I'm not sure. Duff should be able to run and set up your passing attack. They have several weapons on offense but as I said you can throw,throw,throw on them. Good luck hope you get the "W"

I agree with Delta. I have not seen them play in person but in general the QBs they play up here are not as good as Null. In the past when they have played a pure passer they have had a hard time, example Easton Bruere from RR. Outside of their game against the Rams they don't play in front of a crowd like Artesia. Go Dogs, go Rams.

I watch Heath Ridenour when he played for Lovington. I think he was there QB. Going be a good ball game for Artesia

He played QB at Eastern too. Assistant with Clovis for awhile, then a assistant with Cleveland, after a state title Kirk Potter just retired, waited way late to say anything kinda setting Heath up for the Job if I remember right. He got it and has done well with them, already claiming a title of his own. He is a good coach and like the guest said he will know Artesia ways well. I bet Lovington might like to get him back someday sounds like he loves where he is at though from interviews and stuff I seen and why not he's getting a lot of great talent up there.

So, did Artesia beat Lovington while he was QB for the wildcats? I am sure he will have an opportunity to return to Lovington, but he won't, I really don't feel convinced that the coach that is in Lovington now will stay there too long. I think he will return to Texas after three years....

Heath was a good player I remember him being talked about, of course we didn't have social media like we do now, and how word gets around about players. I remember that game they played in Lovington, an alumni game between Artesia and Lovington, some older guys on each team. Heath was QB for Lovington, tore it up, he was probably 29 or 30. Lots of younger guys out there only a few years out from High School, but Heath still stood out big time, he was a baller for sure.

Judging on those previous scores, it seems our offense should be able to score points. Gonna be a good game!

We would love to have Heath back but I doubt that will happen. He is doing to well at Cleveland to come back here.

Well it is finally here, hope this is a good one!!! Go Bulldogs, we are behind you all the way! Listen to your coaches and execute, play the best you can and the rest will take care of itself! A little extra effort might be the key to winning this game. But remember, win or lose, beating Cleveland is not the ultimate goal and has no affect on reaching that ultimate goal! But it is the goal THIS week!!! Good luck and play hard, like we know you will, you always do!!!
