Pads go on tomorrow so things will start to reveal themselves. Game one is right around the corner…. I’ve heard things are coming along nicely. My understanding in 1’s vs 1’s (O vs D), that the O-Line is holding up pretty dang good against the D-Line. Other than that - the defense has been dominate the first two days. I guess coming into the season, secondary was obviously going to be our strength with 4 returning seniors and receivers/slots are the unknown with inexperience and a lot to learn. Apparently that’s exactly how it’s playing out so far….. A very difficult match up for receiving corps: blanket coverage, receivers/slots can’t get any separation, and the offense is struggling to do anything. It’s a different set up for Artesia- with probably the two best athletes on the team playing outside receiver, rather than slot. Coaches have a true test this year, to see if they can transform the slot rotation into a state championship type passing attack. I’m hoping that our DB’s are just that good, and our routes will be more effective against other teams in the state. Add LeRoch to the mix out of the backfield and hopefully we can make enough plays to be dangerous.

Josiah Rodriguez is pressing one of the 2 slots from the Outside LB position then stays on his hip; taking that slot out of the progression for Nye. He’s playing LB , but matches his buddy David Hammond in speed, but weighs 160. The 4 DB’s are playing cover 2 or a combination of cover 2 and cover 4. Not sure on that, but they definitely have the experience and ability to do very well in passing game vs almost any team. I hope they can bottle up the running game, guess we will see next Thursday vs Onate/Organ mtn |

I also believe the 2 best athletes, the fastest player Juan Diego (besides Leroch) are WR (Saiz and Frankie G., guess coaches saw Galindo being more productive at WR. Our hope is for Ethan Conn, Diego Lopez will turn it up come.scrimmage and Carlsbad. |

I heard offense flipped the script this morning, and scored on both 2 minute drills in 1 v 1’s!! However, my understanding is that Nye called all the plays himself. If that’s the case- I think this is a very smart move by Coach Maup…. Not that Nye would by any means call a better game than the coach- but it would allow a coach to observe who Nye trusts, and for that matter who he doesn’t trust. I think this is a good way to send a message to receiver/slots as well….. Bottom line- if the QB didn’t call your number today… you might want to put in some extra work and polish things up. Earning the QB’s trust/confidence should be a huge priority for pass catchers!!
And I agree completely NoonDog…. If we can stop the run- we will be a very tough team to beat. I don’t think anyone will be able to consistently find success putting the ball in the air against our defense!!

What happened to the annual scrimmage against Onate/Organ Mountain. Saw on NMPREPS that you all need a scrimmage on the 10th of August?

High profile yes; both good and bad what I've read. We already have you guys coming back down here in the regular season; if things go right we just might have to make a trip to you guys in November. |

Things are VERY exciting. New coach who has been with the program for over 25 years. 16 returning letter-man from last years team. Only 4 seniors on the roster but junior loaded with our QB Ryan Alfaro who looks to be one of the best to come out of here. Yes, we did lose (RB) Fabian Reyna and (DE) Ian Ortiz to graduation. Our field house has/been upgraded and expanded. Things looking very good! |

Good deal, yeah heard we did well from one of the kids dad too. Heard The Rock, was pounding the football on the ground and dragging some guys along with him, love to hear that. Stinks Onate Cancelled on us, we kind of got screwed out of our annual home scrimmage and hamburger fry, I know it's carrying on with the Soph scrimmage today but still. OH well, Carlsbad here we come. |

Found out today all Las Cruces schools will not need to buy ticks online for any game or sport held here in LC. Can still pay at the gate. Plan on implementing online ticks next year.
