Week Five Football Schedule

Week five of the El Paso High School Football season kick off tonight with Eastwood traveling to Montwood and Irvin playing Chapin at Andress. Eastwood is looking to erase the bad memory of the loss to Bel Air last week and Irvin is just trying to get a much needed win.

The El Paso Times ran a great story on the Riverside offense and the productivity and success they have been generating this season. The Rangers open up their District schedule with on the road tomorrow at San Elizario.

My JV game got re-scheduled due to the bad weather and the damage it caused to the field. Our guys are playing well and we hope to start our district run with a big win on Saturday.



Hoping everyone gets out to catch some great El Paso football this week. Remember to bring the jackets and try to stay dry my friends.

Week Four Football Scores

El Paso High got it done behind the rushing of James Saenz and his 183 yards and three touchdowns to defeat the Irvin Rockets 35-13. The Tigers improved to 4-0 on the season and have the Tiger faithful thinking playoffs. Tigers have a shot but they have to take care of Burges, Austin, and Jefferson to get it done. The way they are playing now that doesn't look like a big problem. It could come down to Burges and El Paso High for the last playoff spot in District 1-4a.



Eastwood got blitzed by the Bel Air Highlanders 49-25 at Eastwood to put a damper on the great season that the Troop has been having so far. The 5A District is tough and a loss to the Highlanders will really cost Eastwood in their hunt for a playoff spot.

NMSU VS UTEP Battle of I-10

I am looking forward to the battle of I-10 tomorrow between UTEP and NMSU. It looks like Donald Buckram will be in the mix in a game that UTEP absolutely has to win. I was impressed with the way NMSU played against San Diego State last week and think that the Miners will have a load of trouble on their hands if they don't come out firing on all cylinders in the first half.



Most polls have UTEP wining by two touchdowns but I think it will be much closer. NMSU always gets up for UTEP and would love to spoil the season early for the Miners.


If UTEP Loses Jazzy wont be the only depressed Miner fan.

High School Football Week Four

Utep Beats Ark. Pine-Bluff

We had a great time watching Utep beat Ark. Pine-Bluff last Saturday night. Our stomach turned a little when UTEP gave up the early touchdown but they got their ship back on course and sailed through the game looking like a team who can make a run in Conference USA.

I was a little worried with the execution of the offense in the red zone (two turnovers and a failed fourth down attempt) but attribute this to first game jitters. The two headed monsters at running backs (Vernon Frazier and Joe Banyard) played well in the absence of Donald Buckram.

No single receiver stood out in the game and Vittatoe didn't look like one of the elite QB's in the Conference. I hope they can get their timing down by this Friday when they take on Houston. The return of wide receiver Evan Davis should help the offense keep the ball out of Keenum's hands. The UTEP offense will have to put up big numbers in order to keep them in the game through the fourth quarter. The defense just has to weather the storm and play.
