Playoff time is here, and Carrizozo and Elida are set to clash on Saturday at 1:00 PM. It should be a fierce showdown as Elida are ranked 5th in the MaxPreps state rankings and Carrizozo are ranked 6th.
Carrizozo earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last week. They were fully in charge, breezing past Hondo Valley 62-12. Among those leading the charge for Carrizozo was senior Jacob Narvaez, who rushed for 300 yards and 7 touchdowns on 17 carries. If you haven't heard Narvaez's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in their past seven games.
Meanwhile, Elida might be getting used to good results now that the team has seven wins in a row. They put the hurt on Hondo Valley with a sharp 74-44 victory. Followers of Elida probably expected little less of the squad in a season in which they have collected six blowout victories.
Their wins bumped Carrizozo to 8-2 and Elida to 8-1. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
