Featured game
—> Sandia 46, Albuquerque High 0
Whatever the Sandia Matadors disliked about their performance in Week 3, they purged it all in Week 4.
Senior quarterback Jahleel Lewis ran for a pair of touchdowns and threw for a third, and the Matadors throttled Albuquerque High’s offense throughout in a 46-0 victory in a District 1-6A opener at Wilson Stadium.
This was a long way from a double overtime thriller over rival Eldorado last week that didn’t exactly leave a pleasant taste in their mouths.

Featured games
—> Volcano Vista 50, Clovis 0
Volcano Vista and Isaiah McCary needed about 20 seconds to set the tone.
McCary took a reverse on the opening kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown, and the Hawks (4-0) were never threatened in a 50-0 mercy-rule shortened victory over Clovis at Nusenda Community Stadium on Friday night.
“Every time we to get the ball, we know we have a chance to score,” McCary said. “I really want to capitalize on that. I really want to capitalize on that out here. We get the ball, we're running up our sideline. I knew it was good to set the tone, make a statement.”
That was just the beginning. Five different Hawks scored in the first half, as Volcano Vista cruised to a 44-0 advantage at halftime on homecoming night. Junior quarterback Jude Herrera accounted for 3 scores, including passes of 19 yards to McCary and 25 yards to Zion Ward. He also had a 10-yard touchdown run. The Hawks also got rushing TDs from Zach Soto and Jude Gonzales.
