The power rankings have been shaken up after a frantic week teeming with triumph and disappointment. Among the action were the efforts of Rio Rancho's junior Isaiah Chavez, an offensive menace who scored five total TDs.
Welcome
Say hello to Socorro: the team broke into the power rankings at the 23rd position after its notable last-week performance. It put the hurt on Mission Achievement & Success with a conclusive 50 - 0 victory. Socorro's margin of victory (50 points) marked the biggest win the team has had all season.
Can't Touch This
La Cueva's 43 - 14 win over Cibola last week had a lot to do with the leadership of senior D'andre Williams. Williams ran for 198 yards and also punched in three touchdowns. That performance made Williams one of the best players in the power rankings last week.

The battle between Cleveland (ranked 2nd in the MaxPreps state rankings) and Mayfield (ranked 17th) turned out to be a somewhat underwhelming competition. The final score between Cleveland and Mayfield was a 41 - 6 blowout in Cleveland's favor. Cleveland did have the odds in its favor, but the team did even better than the MaxPreps state rankings indicated.
No Stoppin 'Em
Rio Rancho gave both Las Cruces and its quarterback (sacked 8.5 times) a rough time last week. Rio Rancho came up short against Las Cruces, falling 44 - 33. The defeat came about despite a quality game from junior Isaiah Chavez, who threw for 284 yards and five touchdowns. The combined 77-point effort made this the highest-scoring game in the power rankings for the week.
