Cruces and Mayfield Renew Storied Rivalry

Both teams have suffered injuries to key players this season. And yet both teams remain ranked amongst the most elite teams in Class 5-A football in the State of New Mexico. Both teams knew when the 2010 season began that is was likely that this game, on this evening, would be for the district championship and a higher seeding in the state high school football playoffs. The excitement will get underway mid-afternoon at Aggie Memorial Stadium when tailgating fans will begin to gather for good food, renewed friendships, story telling, and predictions of the outcome. The first Friday evening in November has come to be one of the great "events" in the Mesilla Valley each year. The Mayfield Trojans will play the Las Cruces Bulldawgs in the 2010 version of a high school football rivalry that is so noteworthy, it sparked the making of the documentary "Cruces Divided" which was released in theaters around the state last month. Kickoff is set for 7:00pm with radio coverage on KSNM AM-570. Internet listeners can catch the game at ksnm570.am
