As the 2025 New Mexico high school football season barrels into its second half, the Alamogordo Tigers find themselves in the thick of a competitive District 3-6A battle. With a current record of 4–3 overall and 1–2 in district play, the Tigers are fighting to stay relevant in a field dominated by some of the state’s top-ranked programs.
The season began with promise. Alamogordo opened with three straight wins, including a gritty road victory over Deming and a strong showing against Roswell. The team has led the charge offensively, while the defense has shown flashes of resilience despite recent setbacks.
Losses to Hobbs and Centennial—both ranked in the top five statewide—have tested the Tigers’ depth and discipline. Hobbs, currently No. 4 in the state, overwhelmed Alamogordo with a high-powered offense in a 47–26 shootout. Centennial, sitting at No. 3, showcased its playoff pedigree in a 42–32 win that exposed gaps in Alamogordo’s secondary.
Despite those defeats, Alamogordo remains a dangerous team with plenty to play for. Their next matchup, a home game against Carlsbad on October 10, is a must-win to stay in the playoff conversation. The Tigers will also face Las Cruces on October 16 and Clovis on October 31—two more district rivals with postseason implications.
Across the state, Cleveland High School continues to dominate the Class 6A rankings, holding the No. 1 spot with an undefeated record and a reputation for explosive offense and disciplined execution. La Cueva, Centennial, and Hobbs round out the top four, each with deep rosters and playoff-tested leadership.
While Alamogordo hasn’t cracked the top 10 in the latest MaxPreps rankings, the team’s early-season success and competitive spirit have kept them in the mix. High School Sports Writer Chris Edwards says, “They’ve got the talent and the heart,” now it’s about execution and believing in each other.”
The Tigers’ remaining schedule offers both challenges and opportunities. With three district games left, Alamogordo has a chance to climb the standings and make a late-season push. The community’s support remains strong, and the energy at Tiger Stadium is electric as fans rally behind their team during home games.
In a district stacked with ranked opponents and playoff contenders, Alamogordo’s grit and determination will be tested. But if the Tigers can string together wins and tighten up defensively, they may yet roar into November with a postseason berth in sight.
New sidewalks for some neighborhoods. What about the Walker area that is also in her district. Seeing is believing, Walker area has always been ignored.
Have you ever messaged her about it, or are you just complaining to complain? Her actions speak louder than all the other commissioners combined.
She championed and approved $12 million dollars worth of Water system upgrades for walker road and yet you choose to ignore that. It is in the design phase with contract bidding to be announed in early 2026 with work to begin in later spring. That is the largest capital investment in Walker Road in over 50 years.

Did anyone see what Senator Charles Grassley is saying about AI yesterday. What does that have to do with this? It might explain why legal systems in many cities are such a mess.
But also: Why is no one talking about the DISMAL low income housing in Alamogordo, and the need to investigate what is going on in those places, and the lack of housing for homeless???????????

"I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they do no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way against holders of power...power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." ~ Lord Acton
It is interesting as you delve into the family, business and indeed religious connections that are intertwined in city politics. Some folks have a whole lit of fleas scratching the dog.
Absolutely true lots of fleas itching the dog!!
I somehow got logged out without doing so since last time I was here. I wanted to view the Flickinger meeting on Facebook but cannot because my account was taken down. I do not attend these public events because of all the attempts to mess with my life already.
two observations:
Absolutely. I would say those are conservative numbers at 1 in 40. The quickest way to become wealthy in America is to enter politics. I would say Miss McDonald is 1 in a 109. The family fun center fiasco is a true memorial to what nepotism and back room dealing will get you.
PBS was relevant.
NPR and PBS were definitely relevant - which is precisely why the trump regime has scuttled them...we have truly entered the era of alternative "truth".
