What to Know

New Mexico has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the Boise State Broncos will face off in a Mountain West battle at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at ExtraMile Arena. Coming off a loss in a game New Mexico was expected to win, they now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

It’s hard to win when you make eight fewer threes than your opponent, a fact New Mexico found out the hard way on Saturday. They were just a bucket shy of victory and fell 78-77 to the Falcons.

The loss doesn’t tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Nelly Junior Joseph, who almost dropped a double-double on 17 points and nine rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Donovan Dent, who scored 14 points along with five assists and five rebounds.

Meanwhile, Boise State can now show off ten landslide victories after their most recent match on Tuesday. They took their match on the road with ease, bagging a 79-48 win over the Falcons. The victory was familiar territory for Boise State who now have four in a row.

Boise State’s success was spearheaded by the efforts of Chibuzo Agbo, who scored 17 points along with six rebounds, and Tyson Degenhart, who scored 21 points along with five rebounds. O’Mar Stanley was another key contributor, scoring 15 points.

The Lobos’ loss dropped their record down to 21-7. As for the Broncos, their win bumped their record up to 20-8.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the pair are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. New Mexico hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 82.8 points per game. However, it’s not like Boise State struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 75.9 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.

While only Boise State took care of their fans the last time they played, neither team managed to cover. Going forward, Boise State is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 3.5 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they’re sitting on a five game streak of covering the spread when expected to win.

Odds

Boise State is a 3.5-point favorite against New Mexico, according to the latest college basketball odds.

The oddsmakers had a good feel for the line for this one, as the game opened with the Broncos as a 4-point favorite.

The over/under is 154 points.

New Mexico’s Chaparral High School football team is making history

The Chaparral High School football program in Southern New Mexico is making a name for itself these days.

And for the first time, the state of New Mexico is taking notice of the Lobos program. Chaparral High School is located less than 30 miles from Northeast El Paso.

The Lobos are 8-3 overall and seeded No. 3 in the Class 4A playoffs. The eight wins are the most in school history and the No. 3 seed in the playoffs is the highest seed the Lobos have ever had in the playoffs.

The Lobos defeated No. 6 seed Moriarty, 42-41, in the state quarterfinals on Nov. 14 when Lobos quarterback Israel Nieto scored with a rushing touchdown and it was followed by a successful extra point to advance the Lobos. Twelve teams made the state playoffs.

There are multiple classifications in New Mexico, ranging from Class 2A to Class 6A, as well as six-man and eight-man football divisions.

Chaparral football history

The Lobos played their first varsity game in 2007 and went 1-9 that season. The Lobos have had seven seasons with no wins,

The Lobos had winning seasons in 2015 and 2017, both times going 6-4.

Chaparral breaks through in 2024

Chaparral made the postseason in 2024 and defeated Portales in the first round on the road, securing the program’s first-ever playoff win.

Fast forward to 2025

The Lobos have won 8 of their last 10 games after losing their season opener to Gadsden. They went 4-2 in District 2-4A, which placed them second behind Albuquerque St. Pius.

The Lobos defeated strong teams from Albuquerque (Academy and Manzano), the state’s largest city, and another team from Los Lunas (Valencia HS), which is near Albuquerque.

Chaparral players to watch

Israel Nieto, QB. He has 1,786 yards passing, 634 yards rushing, 19 touchdown passes and 15 rushing touchdown runs.
Raul Lopez, RB. Lopez has rushed for 1,092 yards and has 470 yards rushing.
Aaron Eliserio, WR. He has caught eight touchdown passes.

Chaparral’s coaching staff

Joseph Frias, who played quarterback at El Paso’s Franklin High School and graduated in 2003, is the second-year head coach.

His staff includes defensive coordinator Stephen White, offensive coordinator Esai Ontiveros and defensive backs and wide receiver coach David Butler.

What’s next for Chaparral

The Lobos will play No. 2 St. Pius at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, at Nusenda Community Stadium in Albuquerque in the state semifinals. The winner will play either No. 1 Bloomfield or No. 4 Taos in the state finals.

What Chaparral head coach Joseph Frias said

“The kids have worked hard and bought into what we want to do,” Frias said. “Making the playoffs last year and winning a playoff game meant so much to the program. It gave us momentum.”

What Chaparral player Israel Nieto said

“We’ve had great support from the community, we’ve played with confidence and determination,” Nieto said.

NMSU to host public reading by New Mexico native Dec. 5

Joshua Wheeler was raised in Alamogordo, New Mexico and his work has been described as “lyrical and funny” as well as “poetic and highly entertaining.” One of the two books he will read excerpts from next month is about southern New Mexico.

As part of the Nelson-Boswell Reading Series, La Sociedad para Las Artes will host a public reading by Wheeler, a Louisiana State University professor, from his publications “Acid West: Essays” and “High Heaven: A Novel.”

The reading begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5 in New Mexico State University’s CMI Theater in Milton Hall, Room 171. A free reception will follow, where copies of Wheeler’s books will be available for purchase.

Wheeler is now based in New Orleans where he teaches creative writing at LSU. His debut novel “High Heaven” explores the evolution of faith and technology through the U.S.’s space age. His collection of essays “Acid West” follows the history of innovation and identity as seen from southern New Mexico – from cowboys and UFOs to nuclear testing and spaceports.

The Nelson-Boswell Reading Series invites visiting writers to NMSU to share their work with the community. La Sociedad para Las Artes is seeking to establish a permanent endowed fund through the NMSU Foundation whose earnings will support creative writing programs, including visiting writers and reading series as well as creative writing workshops for children in Las Cruces Public Schools.

Rain starts moving into New Mexico tonight, with more rain and mountain snow through Thursday

Grant’s Tuesday Evening Forecast

A storm system will start bringing rain and thunderstorms into New Mexico tonight. More rain and mountain snow will expand across the state through Thursday.

It’s been another mild day across New Mexico Tuesday with high temperatures hovering near and above average again today. High clouds have been filtering some of the sunshine though as upper level moisture increases ahead of our next storm system. We will already start to see some rain develop in southwest and western New Mexico this evening. These rain and very high elevation snow showers will lift northward into more of New Mexico by Wednesday morning, bringing an isolated chance for precipitation to areas along and south of I-40, with a spotty precipitation chance in northern New Mexico. Scattered showers and storms will redevelop across the western half of New Mexico Wednesday afternoon. High temperatures will see little change Wednesday.

Lift associated with the storm system will increase across New Mexico Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. This will cause a big increase in rain and mountain snow form southwest New Mexico to the northern mountains. On and off showers, storms, and mountain snow will continue through the morning and early afternoon, bringing all of New Mexico a chance for rain. Some of the heaviest rain will fall in southern New Mexico, along with the Rio Grande Valley and into the northern mountains. Precipitation will wrap up from south to north through Thursday evening with some lingering rain and mountain snow in northern New Mexico into early Friday morning. Forecast rainfall amounts have been trending higher across the state, along with snow totals. At least a couple inches of snow is likely above 8,000′, with up 6″ above 9,000′. High temperatures will be much cooler Thursday.

Cooler air sticks around Friday with a slight warming trend this weekend. Another storm is possible by Sunday, which could bring back rain and mountain snow chances.
