The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. On Saturday Newcomb will take on Lordsburg at 1:00 PM. If the matchup is anything like the 40-38 finish from the last time they met, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.
After some red-hot point totals in their last 8 games, Newcomb fizzled out last week. They suffered a grim 0-25 defeat to Escalante. A silver lining for Newcomb was the play of junior Deondre Begay, who picked up 139 yards on the ground on 16 carries. If you haven't heard Begay's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in their past ten games.
Meanwhile, after some red-hot point totals in their last 5 games, Lordsburg fizzled out. They were dealt a punishing 0-55 defeat at the hands of Estancia. The low total for Lordsburg limited their streak of high-flying scores to five in a row.
The two teams will surely be scrapping tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses last week. Hopefully the teams can find a way to make up for their last outings by putting some points on the board this time.
