Las Cruces has NOT won 26 Football State titles. When Artesia played against Las Cruces in AAAA Artesia used to kill em' ..

Roswell #3? No. You mean "Goddard" in Roswell. They are #2!

I don't think I said they were #1 just that they were very football oriented and they remind me of the Texas high school teams. And they do have a MUCH nicer stadium than anything Las Cruces has.

Aggie Memorial Stadium is quite nice by high school standards.

Are you talking about the NMSU stadium? If you are that is like apples to oranges in regards to the Artesia HS stadium. I would hope that a college has a much better stadium than a high school.

Not apples and oranges, just disputing your post above.

Okay well then let me correct that, Artesia has much nicer stadium than any high school stadium in Las Cruces.

Does it routinely fill up like the Field of Dreams? It looks awfully big for the population of Artesia even if everyone brought their livestock. jk

Only big games are played at Aggie Memorial, most are at the FOD. I live right across the street and I can hear when somethings going on there.

No, I mean Roswell as a football town. Not Roswell as the best team. The best "Team" in New Mexico last year was the Las Cruces bulldawgs. They also beat Artesia something like 48-14...or somewhere along those lines.

Artesia and Las Cruces never played in AAAA together. Artesia did play with LC Onate in AAAA and yes, Onate only won 1 title during their short time in AAAA.

Artesia move to AAAA in 2000 and in the same year Las Cruces moved to the new 5A class...Las Cruces and Artesia have not been in the same class since 1968...

Football Towns (1 team in Artesia, 3 teams in LC, 3 teams in Roswell, etc..)

1. Las Cruces
2. Artesia
3. Roswell
4. Clovis
