We’re in it now. With Week 1 of the prep football season in the books, Santa Fe New Mexican sports writers Will Webber and James Barron have some thoughts to share about what stood out from area teams’ season openers. 

James covered Santa Fe High’s win over Capital and offers his insight on what he saw. He thinks the Demons’ Week 2 game at Belen will be a good test to see if they’re legit. 

After picking against St. Michael’s in their season opener against Taos, Will admits the Horsemen look pretty good again this year but that won’t stop him from picking against them again. 

The University of New Mexico football team begins its season Saturday at the Big House in Ann Arbor where the Lobos will have their hands full with No. 14 Michigan. Will shares what UNM head coach Jason Eck had to say during his media availability on Tuesday and offers thoughts on how the Lobos might handle Wolverine freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood, who was the No. 1-ranked high school recruit in the nation in 2025.
