Lake Arthur junior receiver/defensive back Luis Tarango hauls in a long pass for a touchdown during a Sept. 9, 2016 home victory over the Hondo Valley Eagles. Tarango and defensive end/linebacker/receiver Carlos Montoya are the 6-man squad’s only seniors in 2017.

The smallest school in Chaves County still has big goals for the 2017 football season. The Lake Arthur Panthers finished the 2016 season on a sour note, dropping a heart-wrenching 47-46 shootout to San Jon in the 6-man state finals. The Panthers lost three starters from that team, but ambitions of another state title remain. “It’s a young bunch, but that’s the beauty,” stated longtime head coach Jose Porras of his 2017 squad. “This young bunch knows the system, as apposed to teaching an old dog new tricks. These guys know and understand the system.” The Panthers are very accustomed to success, hav-

ing reached the state semifinals every year since 2006 and collecting five titles. The current 10-player squad is very young with two seniors, a junior, four freshman and three eighth-graders. Starting at quarterback will be freshman Adrian Guillen. “He’s got some big shoes to fill (for departed QB Brandon Dalton),” said Porras. “But I think these past two years, he’s grown up a lot, especially with understanding the game.” Guillen got some playing time in last year’s state title game when Dalton went down with an injury early. An eighth-grader at the time, he completed a few passes and made some key runs. Senior Luis Tarango will be called upon throughout the season to lead the young

squad. “Luis is a very talented athlete,” Porras said. “He can catch the ball, run the ball. He is willing to fill in wherever needed. We are looking for big things from him. He and the other senior, Carlos Montoya.” Montoya will play both ways, mostly at the linebacker position and at receiver. “We are looking for leadership from both of our seniors,” stated Porras. “Luis, he is a fifth-year varsity player and has been with us forever, so he knows the system. Looking forward to positive things from (both of those players).” Valdemar Diaz is one of the four freshman that will need to play a major role. “He is still learning to not over pursue, but he is

learning from his mistakes, correcting them and we are looking for great things from him, especially on defense,” Porras said. Porras sees plenty of potential for a big season from junior Kyle Palmer, who made great strides last year. “We are looking for great things from him, especially on the receiving end,” said Porras. “Last year, he came into his own, and this year, the sky is the limit.” According to Porras, the favorites this year could be themselves, Animas and San Jon. Animas returns the bulk of their top-seeded team from last year, while San Jon still has super-back Jacob Thurman leading the defending champs. The Panthers open the 2017 campaign at home on Sept. 1 against Reserve.

Coyote backfield loaded with speed, power

Friday, August 25, 2017

By AJ Dickman Record Sports Editor The Roswell Coyotes turned the corner in 2016, winning nine games and making it to the Class 5A semifinals where they lost to eventual state champ St. Pius X. With several all-state level players returning and a few exciting newcomers, the expectations are sky high for this year’s Coyote squad. “Expectations for our team should be high,” said fifth-year

2 0 1 7 R o s w e l l D a i l y R e c o rd P i g s k i n P r e v i e w

head coach Jeff Lynn. “That’s not something we’re gonna run from. That’s something you should embrace. You want to be in those conversations.” After last year’s big season, several Roswell players are being talked about quite a bit. The talk of the town last year was fullback Gabe Najar who pounded the rock to the tune of 1,000-plus yards and 11 touchdowns. Najar is back for his senior season, but he won’t have to shoul-

der the load alone. With his presence needed on the defensive front, Najar’s carries will be split with fellow senior Brandon Perez, who also plays linebacker. “Not many people know about Brandon, but he’s an awfully good running back and he’ll start at linebacker,” Lynn said. “He might be our best all-around player. It’ll be kind of a thunder and lightning type thing, with Brandon as the speed guy while Najar is more of a bruiser.” But it’s not just Perez and Najar

that teams will have to gameplan for. The Coyotes have a plethora of talented backs to get the ball from A to B — including seniors Daniel Sosa and Michael Ponce, junior Dylan Tucker and Lovington transfer Justin Carrasco. But perhaps the most exciting weapon on the Coyotes’ roster is sophomore Jasia Reese, an incredible athlete with the right attitude for Lynn’s squad. “I think the thing that gets lost when talking about Jasia is that he’s a super kid,” Lynn said. “He works hard in the classroom, he’s got a bubbly personality, he’s fun to be around and I think sometimes that stuff can take you further than athletic ability. “Of course he’s very athletic. We usually like to keep our sopho-

mores down on the JV, but he’s a kid we’re gonna need to get where we wanna go.” Taking over as the field general is junior quarterback Ethan Valenzuela, a player that shares some of the same attributes as departed senior Bear Kyser while bringing more athleticism to the position. “He started on the freshman team and started last year on JV, so it’s his turn,” Lynn said. “He can run, he’s nimble on his feet and he has a good arm. He’s smart and has a chance to be a real good player for us.” The Coyotes lost quite a bit on the offensive and defensive fronts, including college signees Donald See COYOTES, Page 7 David Rocha Photo

Truex and Anthony Silva, but Lynn expects players to step up. “We had a really good offensive line last year and we return two of those kids — Victor Bolaños and Eddie Macias. Those are big, athletic players,” Lynn

2 0 1 7 R o s w e l l D a i l y R e c o rd P i g s k i n P r e v i e w said. “We’ve got some kids that have been in the program going on four years now and it’s their time. Going through camp and the scrimmages, I feel pretty good about both of those groups.” On the defensive side, the best unit is the linebacking corps, lead by returning starter Cade Manzanares. The junior led the team in

tackles last season and had 8 sacks. Perez and Tucker will fill out an athletic, savvy unit that should be able to stop the run and defend the pass. “We like that group,” Lynn said. “That might be the strength of our defense.” As usual, District 4-5A will be tough, but Lynn thinks his Coyotes are ready to end another long

drought against a rival. “Artesia is kind of the one hurdle we have left,” he said. “Since I’ve been head coach, we’ve done away with some of those streaks that have haunted us. We beat Goddard, we beat Hobbs, but we haven’t taken care of Artesia. We haven’t beat them in about 16 years. But I feel like we’ve closed the gap.”

Friday, August 25, 2017

But make no mistake, Lynn isn’t looking past the rest of the district. “Goddard is always Goddard,” he said. “That game the last two years has come down to the last possession. They’ll be tough again. And Lovington is better. We saw them in 7-on-7 this summer. The district is what it is. You’ve gotta compete.” Lynn said it’s nice to have

folks outside the program say nice things about the team, but he knows the only thing that will get the job done is hard work. “We don’t really buy into all the hype and that kinda stuff,” Lynn said. “We just come to work every day and try to get better. We’re in the fieldhouse, we’re on the practice field — doing what we do.”

Demon junior quarterback Jarren Amaro rolls out to toss a pass during an Aug. 14 scrimmage against the Roswell and Hobbs junior varsity squads in Dexter. After being tossed into the fire during Week 1 of last year, an experienced Amaro looks to take the Demons to the next level in 2017. By Paul Lessard Daily Record Correspondent The Dexter Demon football squad is looking to take the next step after falling just short of the state title game last season. The Demons lost in overtime to eventual state champ Capitan in the semifinals, fumbling the ball to end the 2016 season, and they have plans to

erase that bitter memory this fall. For these Demons and thirdyear head coach Kevin Graham, the goal is “a state championship. Nothing less,” stated Graham, heading into his third year at the helm of the Demons. “The kids are driven. We are young, but we’ll be OK. We’re coming together. We’re a little thin, but the kids will play their hearts

out.” The Demons return four starters on offense and seven on defense. The core of the defense is made up of senior Elijah Flores at middle linebacker, juniors Jaime Munoz and Jordan Marquez on the defensive line and junior Nick Cobos at safety. The Demon D will be the key for a state title run. Last year, the Demons pitched three shutouts and allowed a lone score in three other contests. Offensively, the Demons have junior Jaren Amaro returning at quarterback with Munoz and senior Jimmy Samuels up front on the O-line. Cobos and junior Gustavo Macias will be the tailbacks, Flores will be a versatile fullback and a nice trio of receivers in juniors Sergio Ramirez and Jacob Amaya as well as the small, speedy senior Matt Otero will provide the ever-improving Amaro with plenty of weapons. The Demons have only a half dozen seniors on the squad, but most of the juniors saw considerable playing time as sophomores, so the experience is there to make a serious run at the district title and the state crown. Still, underclassmen will have to play important roles for Dexter to end their 19-year state championship drought, the longest current streak in Chaves County. Once again, District 4-3A will be one of the most competitive in the state.

“Eunice and Capitan are for real.” said Graham. “Those two squads played in the state finals in 2016 and return the bulk of their squads. We’ll need to go through them to win the district and most likely, to win a state title. We do get Capitan and Eunice at home this year, along with Estancia and Portales.” The Demons were undefeated at Demon Field in 2016, where they typically enjoy a large, rowdy and supportive crowd. If the Demons can have a similar season at home in 2017, and

take care of business in mostly favorable road matchups, the road to the Class 3A title could run through Dexter. For the second year, the rivalry game between the Demons and Hagerman Bobcats will be contested with the Battle of the Bridges trophy on the line. Dexter will be a heavy favorite, but it could be a trap game with a hungry Hagerman squad and a new Bobcat head coach eager to upset their archrivals. That game takes place Sept. 8 in Hagerman.

Run-first Rockets are strong, deep on both lines 2 0 1 7 R o s w e l l D a i l y R e c o rd P i g s k i n P r e v i e w

Friday, August 25, 2017

By AJ Dickman Record Sports Editor The Goddard Rockets have a tradition of winning that supersedes any expectations, seeding procedures or other distractions that can accompany the bright lights on Friday nights. Some might call it a pressure to win, but for second-year head coach Chris White, it’s about upholding a legacy. “Instead of pressure, I’d say it’s fear — fear of not being successful,” he said. “Nobody wants to be part of the group that didn’t carry the torch.” There are big shoes to fill for the Rockets this year with the departure of senior running back Devon Quiroz and the loss of Cameron Stevenson, who will sit out his senior year of football after committing to play baseball for the University of New Mexico Lobos. Unless another star running back emerges, the ball will likely get spread around. “We’ve got a few guys that will carry the load for us there,” White said. “I’ll be multiple with formations and the things I do that allow me to move personnel around.” Senior Diego Miranda, who has mostly played receiver, could emerge as the next great Rocket runner. “Diego is a pretty dynamic kid,” White said. “He’ll do some different things for us this year. We’ve used him as a wing back and slot back, but he’s

est guys on the team and Dalton is that. He’s a super-solid, tough kid and a good leader.” On the other side of the the ball, the linebacking corps looks stout with Miranda returning to his outside position. The group also includes senior Dallas Bills, senior transfer Estevan Rodriguez and sophomore Kaston Ramage, who will look to take over for his older cousin, graduated linebacker Kobe Ramage. But for any run-first squad the strength is in the trenches. “What’s really gonna lead our team is some of the offensive and defensive linemen that we have coming back,” White said. “(Senior) Ed Merino is a kid that started last year, but he had a knee injury as we

2 0 1 7 R o s w e l l D a i l y R e c o rd P i g s k i n P r e v i e w started district play. He’ll be back and healthy. “(Senior) Nick Luna started every game at left tackle last year. Those two kids are really anchoring our offensive line right now. That’s really the strength of what we’re doing — the big kids up front. And we have quite a bit of depth on both lines. We’ll put the rest of it together around that.” As usual, the Rockets will play a stout schedule that includes the likes of Class 6A teams like Piedra Vista, Clovis and Carlsbad as well as tough District 4-5A foes Artesia and Roswell. “It’s no cakewalk. We’re gonna jump right into the fire,” explained White. “We play up a lot, even though it doesn’t help you with the current ranking system. Playing 5-5 Clovis hurts your strength of schedule, or you could go play

4A Ruidoso and get more credit for beating a district champion. That’s about like the difference in playing a youth league team and the New England Patriots. But we still play up. That’s who we are.” No matter the class, record or ranking of their opponent, the Rockets approach each game the same way, with the goal of upholding the proud Goddard football tradition. “We go out and play hard every week, no matter where or who we’re playing, whether it’s Week 1 or the state championship,” White said. “We just want to perform well and the kids want to represent their school and town and make their parents, peers and fans proud. I don’t feel any pressure to beat any certain team. We’re just trying to win.”

Experienced seniors to lead Colts through tough district

By Karen Boehler NMMI Sports Press The Colt football team is gearing up for the start of their season, with a road game vs. Fort Sumner on Friday, Aug. 25 slated to officially kickoff the 2017 campaign. Under seventh-year head coach Randy Montoya, the Colts have made four-straight state playoff appearances, and with a crop of 22 returning players — 12 of

whom had varsity playing experience last season — Montoya hopes to continue that streak. “We have 51 kids total on the roster for both varsity and JV programs,” said Montoya. “About 30 of those will travel with our varsity — a fairly even split. Lots of good quality kids coming up from the JV program. We just need more practice and more reps. We have lots of growing to do. We’re pretty young, especially in the back-

field” Returning seniors include Gavin Maloney, Connor Roe, Hugo Varela, Ryan Houston, Tomas Mondragon and Carl Forkel — all of whom played extensively for the Colts last year. “We do have Maloney returning at quarterback. That’s exciting, as he can do some things that we haven’t been able to do in the past,” Montoya said. “He’s been in the system for four years now. I can give him a little bit more

of a free reign to make some decisions as he sees certain situations — I trust him in that.” With a 6-foot-3, 200pound frame, Maloney will likely be one of the primary ball carriers, but is also a more-than-capable pocket passer. Houston, despite his smaller stature (5 feet, 6 inches, 160 pounds), played deep-snapper and O-line for the Colts last season. This year, however, coach Montoya wants him in the backfield.

NMMI junior quarterback/linebacker Gavin Maloney runs back an interception during the Colts’ loss in Santa Rosa on Sept. 16, 2016. Now a senior, Maloney will be a dual threat out of the backfield for the Institute.

“We moved him back to the fullback position, to try and get another solid blocker out of the backfield. He’s quick and a good leader, so hopefully he’ll be able to scoot through that line and get a few yards as well,” said Montoya. Varela stands in at 6 feet, 2 inches and 220 pounds. “Hugo is our starting center and will be going both ways,” Montoya said. “We’ll rely heavily on him to anchor those offensive and defense fronts.” Mondragon (6 feet, 225 pounds) is another returning senior who will also play both ways in the trenches. “He’s got a bit of an injury right now,” Montoya explained. “But we’re hoping he gets well and gets back to us in the next few weeks. When he does, he’ll be a big part of that offensive and defensive front. “Another returning senior is Carl Forkel [6 feet, 1 inch, 200 pounds]. He’ll start both ways — offense and defense — probably a majority of linebacker on defense.” The final returning senior is Connor Roe (6 feet, 1 inch, 160 pounds). “Connor will be our starting wide receiver and defensive back,” said Montoya. “He’s a four-year cadet and had a good season last year. We’re expecting good things from him and hoping that he can build on that previous success.” Because of a lack of depth and experience in the backfield, on both sides of the ball, Montoya plans to simplify the offensive and defensive schemes this season. “Due to the fact that we are so much younger in the backfield, we’re going to primar-

Friday, August 25, 2017

ily stay in the ‘I’ formation on offense, rather than the four-back diamond of years’ past,” he said. “We’ll spread it out every once in a while, too. On defense, we’re going to run a split 4-4; mostly just trying to simplify some things for these kids. Sometimes as coaches we overthink things too much.” The Colts got to try out those new schemes in a controlled, four-way scrimmage last weekend in Portales. There, Montoya, his coaching staff and his players learned just how far they have to go to get up to speed. “The first team played was Texico. They always have a solid program. It was a good matchup. Both defenses did really well and both offensives had their sparks and ups and downs,” Montoya said. “Then Portales came in and they were a whole lot quicker team speed-wise. We had to step up our game and it was good for our kids to see that level of play. Then came Eunice, and play was even faster, probably the overall best team speed that we saw. They got around the corner on us very easily, which was disappointing, but showed us something that we definitely need to work on.” Montoya further explained what he meant about team speed: “Portales showed us very quickly in our scrimmage the difference of speed that is needed and present at this level, and how much faster we need to be. Not so much in terms of the speed of individual players, but more as far as team or game speed: See COLTS, Page 14

getting off the ball quickly, knowing your assignments, getting to your block faster and maintaining it, playing with more enthusiasm.” The Colts will need that “team speed” come district play, which begins at home on Oct. 6 vs. Ruidoso. “Of course our district is always extremely tough,” Montoya said. “Two out of the past three years, the state champion has come out

I think for the most part we hold our own during the district season, considering the level of competition. “No doubt, it’s going to be another tough year, come district play, but we’ll worry about that later on down the road. Right now, we’re worried about Fort Sumner. They’ve got the majority of their kids back and they went to the state championships last year. They are a well-coached team and we’ll have our hands full with that first game of the season. We’ll just do the best we can

each week and take it game by game.” That first district game will also be part of NMMI’s Cancer Awareness Week and the “Cadets for the Cure” campaign. “It’ll be a big game, a big week, a great cause and a great chance for our cadets to help out our community,” said Montoya, who is helping the athletic department organize various activities during the week. “We are excited about it and special thanks to all the people who have been helping put all of this together.”

Lots of positives for sophomore-heavy Broncos

By Karen Boehler NMMI Sports Press The expression says that while offense wins games, defense wins championships — which could bode well for the 2017 Bronco football team. After sending 27 graduates on to play at four-year schools — including standout quarterback Jordan Ta’amu who finished second in the NJCAA for touchdown passes and third in the nation for passing yardage last season before signing to play for Ole Miss — this year’s sophomore class is heavy on defense. “We’ve returned a lot of guys who played a lot of snaps,” said sixth-year head coach Joe Forchtner. “Even though a lot of them weren’t starters, they were still splitting the reps, 50-50 or 60-40 with the starters. And for us that’s big. Because here, we don’t get a lot of transfers. We’ve got to win with sophomores. And the years that we’ve been good it’s been a really sophomore-heavy team. So defensively in the backfield,

2 0 1 7 R o s w e l l D a i l y R e c o rd P i g s k i n P r e v i e w

those guys know the calls. They know how to make the calls. We’ve got several returning cornerbacks on the defense right now. Right now, they’re pretty solid.” Those defensive returners with time on the field include Laquan Lewis-Hicks (8 games played, 25 tackles, 12 assists), Joe Clark (8-19-11), Donald Mensah (8-16-7), Leonard Sagapolutele (9-16-17), James Brown (7-14-4), Dustyn Hart (9-9-9), Matz Peters (7-108), Ben Avery (7- 6-3), Jonari Brown (4-7-2), L.J. Te’o (4-4-3) and Walter Wilkerson (3-1-0). Offensively, Forchtner is pleased with returning receivers Andre Bodison (22 receptions for 306 yards), Bryndan McCoy (21-317), Cam Saunders (12243) and Azavion Smith (2-7); and returning running backs Jalen Jackson (36 rushes for 207 yards), Taquan Pratt (2350) and Raekwon Webb (11-35). But coach “Fort,” as his players call him, is definitely pleased with the new freshmen recruits, on both sides of the

ball. “I think this is one of the more athletic classes that we’ve signed and right now it’s just about getting them to learn the steps so that they can play as fast as they are,” Forchtner said. “When guys are thinking out there on the field they tend to not play as fast as they are. I think we signed a good class. I couldn’t be more pleased with what we signed. It’s just getting them game ready.” Question marks include the offensive line and quarterback positions. “We only had one offensive lineman who played last year. But this is probably the best O-line group we’ve signed and they’re coming along. Again, we’ve got to get them game ready,” said Forchtner. The QB battle is between four newcomers: 6-foot-4 sophomore transfer Brandon Perdue, from Valley, California; 6-2 freshman Bryce Martin, Tampa, Florida; 6-1 freshman Cody Frampton, Lehi, Utah; and 6-2 freshman Monterius Turner, Florence,

Alabama. “Competition for the top QB slot has been pretty thick. I still don’t know who it’s going to be,” Forchtner said. “Those guys are battling it out every day. I like them all. They’re all good players. It’s just not as clear-cut as it was last year.” Forcthner and the rest of his coaching staff — offensive coordinator and assistant head coach Drew Thatcher (sixth season); offensive line coach Robert Rodriguez (second); defensive line coach Kurt Taufa’asau (second); and new to NMMI, wide receivers coach Chase Kyser, linebacker coach Xavier Garcia and defensive coach Jay Wilson — will get to see how it all gels Aug. 26, when the Broncos face Air Force Prep in Colorado, the first of only two non-conference games on the schedule. After that, it doesn’t get any easier, as it’s all Southwest Junior College Football Conference games, beginning in Miami, Oklahoma for a Sept. 2 matchup with NE Oklahoma A&M before coming home Sept.

9 against Cisco College. As the Institute found out last year in their first SWJCFC season, it’s a seven-week grind, against some of the top-ranked JC teams in the country. That anyone can beat anyone else is obvious from last year’s standings, in which only Trinity Valley had an almost unblemished record, going 11-1 overall and 7-1 in the SWJCFC. Except for winless Cisco, everyone else had three or four wins in conference, making for a tight finish. “Good teams, top to bottom,” Forchtner said. “There’s no games there that you can go in and circle win, loss, win, win, win, win, win, win. I think anybody can beat anybody. I think we can beat anybody on any given week. I also think if we don’t show up, we can lose against any team in this conference.” But if it all comes together under the sophomore leadership, the Broncos could battle their way to the top of the tough-as-nails conference.

weeks to get used to that,” he said. “Unlike at Artesia where you have a ton of players out, Hagerman is a small school. We started out with 15 players and have come up to 19 and I believe we should end up with 25-26 players. I’m excited, though, because each of those guys is going to bring something to the table. These guys work their butts off. They leave it all out there.” The Bobcats will again be led at quarterback by junior Jakob Bejarano. “He is a great athlete,” stated Olivas. “He has shown that he can run the ball and he can throw the ball. He has caught on and is smart. His progressions are pretty good and he has a good arm.” Another junior to watch will be Elijah Garcia, “one

Now a junior, Bejarano has the experience and the mental and physical tools needed to get the ‘Cats back on track in 2017. By Paul Lessard Record Correspondent The 2017 football season promises some excitement in Hagerman as they bring in a new head coach and a new sense of purpose which bodes well for the Bobcat faithful. The 2016 Bobcats suffered their first losing season since 2011 as they managed just two wins. The Bobcats hired Adrian Olivas away from neighboring Artesia High in order to right the ship and get Hagerman to where they were

just a few years ago — playing for a blue trophy. Olivas, who played for the Bulldogs and coached there for the last six years, is excited for the challenge of taking the Bobcats back to their winning ways. “They are going to go out there and play hard,” he said. “They are going to be in shape and they are going to go and hit you in the mouth. A lot of people are not giving us much credit, being a young team, but I think we’re going to come out and we’re going to surprise some teams.”

Olivas continued, “I want this to be a program here. This is not just a stop for me. My family is from here. This was always a goal of mine — if a head coaching job came up in Hagerman, I would consider it because this is one on the only places I would come to from Artesia. I plan on being here for a while.” The Bobcats will be short on players, as is the case with most small schools, but Olivas promised his squad will make up for it on the field with effort. “It took me about two

of our deep threats…he can get behind you in a heartbeat.” “We have Jose Rodriguez at numerous positions and will be one of our go-to guys,” said Olivas. “We have Victor Quintor at slot and running back. We got Chris Reyes who has improved a whole bunch from this summer. Chris Manz has been doing a very good job. We also got a couple of guys — Osbaldo (Najera) and Martin (Trevizo) — who will help us this season.” Olivas explained that the aforementioned athletes will all be helping out on both sides of the ball, as will some of the interior players. “We have Derek Franklin — he’s pretty big and will be one of our anchors,” said Olivas. “Anthony Orosco will be out there playing both ways. Valentin Sierra

will also be playing both ways at line and linebacker.” The Bobcats have a tough schedule as they open the season at defending 3A state champion Capitan, and it stays competitive throughout the year as defending 2A state champ Lordsburg is in the district. “Lordsburg won state last year and lost a few players, but got Coach Hooper from Alamogordo, who is a great coach,” said Olivas. “I don’t think they will have that big of a drop off. Jal should be challenging for the state championship. Fort Sumner, Jal and Lordsburg will all be tough, but I’m excited for the challenge. Our schedule is (loaded), but our boys will not back down and look forward to each week.”

One bad half of football doesn’t diminish a legacy. Adversity made the Bulldogs more determined to give their best effort in the second half of last season’s championship game against St. Pius X. Artesia scored every time they had the ball in the second half only to fall short, losing 34-24. “I think we handled adversity well last year,” Coach Rex Henderson said. “We had a poor first half offensively against Pius, and came back out and scored every time we had the ball. We could have folded up realizing we weren’t going to win the state championship, but we came back and battled. We just came up a little short.” This season’s senior themed “built and bonded” came from the hard work put in by the team in the off-season and during the summer; bonded in a brother-

hood from going through hard times together. “I think the teams that I’ve been around had a work ethic,” Henderson said. “The teams that are successful have a really tight bond, in my opinion. We have to continue building that camaraderie and chemistry. I feel like they have done that, but we have to continue building it throughout the season.” On the offensive side of the ball, look for the Bulldogs to score in a hurry with five returning starters. Four of them are skilled position players with Isaiah Farmer returning at right guard. Farmer is a smart player and versatile enough to play all the positions on the line as a sophomore. Artesia will spread teams out with four and five receivers sets at times. Directing their fastbreak offense is senior quarterback Taylor Null. Null in his first season as a starter threw for 3,246 yards and 42 TDs.

“Taylor has a lot of experience for us,” Henderson said. “He started a couple of games for us as a sophomore. As a junior, he had a good campaign, he is an intelligent quarterback and a great leader. He has all the things you look for in that position.” Null will throw to a trio of returning receivers in Chaney Hardt. Hardt had 59 catches for 752 yards and 10 TDs. Kameron Aguilar hauled in 35 receptions for 522 yards and four TDs, and Tyler Greenwood added 21 receptions while scoring nine touchdowns. When the Bulldogs run the ball, they will hand it off to Robert Fernandez. Fernandez is a versatile back that can hurt a defense on the ground running for 577 yards and scoring 11 TDs. Fernandez caught the ball out of the backfield for 153 yards and one touchdown. See BULLDOGS, Page 19

Bulldogs Continued from Page 18

The senior-laden Bulldogs will continue to play a lot of different players on both sides of the ball. On the defensive side of the ball look for them to continue to play multiple fronts depending on the teams they face. The Bulldogs return six starters from last year’s team. The strength of defense will be their ball-hawking linebacking corps. Three-year starter Miguel Martinez returns, last season he led the team in tackles with 132. Jorge Avitia and Blake Pruitt were tied for second on the team in tackles with 84. Avitia had four interceptions, and Colin Flood finished with 72 tackles. Senior Eddie Pando played on the interior of the defensive line last season, but will move to

defensive end. The Bulldogs will be young in the defensive backfield and count heavily on the leadership of three-year starter strong safety Denver Williams. Williams had two picks last season. “We feel pretty good about the core of that group,” Henderson said. “We’d like to be a threeand-out defense.” Henderson expects the road to the District 4-5A title to go through Goddard and the ever-improving Roswell. Last season Artesia won the district title based on points after finishing in a three-way tie with Roswell and Goddard. “We lost to Goddard in district at their place, and I thought our kids handled it well,” Henderson said. “We learned how to handle the end of the game. One of the things we learned was discipline. We had a lot of penalties in that game to allow it to end up where it

was. We had some missed opportunities and had penalties of our own that could have been avoided. Had we played smarter both from an execution wise and penalty wise, maybe they (Goddard) don’t have a chance to win at the end.” Looking ahead to Friday night’s season opener against Carlsbad, Henderson understands the rivalry is more of bragging rights for the communities located 30 miles apart. The players from both teams interact with each other in sports and on a social level. Henderson expects Carlsbad to be physical on the offensive side of the ball. The Bulldogs defeated Carlsbad, 30-14, in last season’s opener. “Our goals are to take care of our kids,” Henderson said. “We try to get better every week, if we do that, the wins and losses will take care of themselves.”
