Las Cruces Event: Mayfield vs. Las Cruces
Any Las Cruces native or resident will tell you that if there’s any football game to see, it’s Mayfield versus Las Cruces High. For nearly 30 years, the two high schools were the only secondary education schools in the city, and as a result, a deep-rooted rivalry was born. Even with the arrival of Onate High School in 1993, the competition between Mayfield and Las Cruces has remained untouched. Each year, thousands of teenagers, parents, football fans, and Las Cruces residents show up to take sides at Aggie Stadium, since the game has reached a magnitude that surpasses the usual high school stomping grounds, the Field of Dreams.
Last year, officials estimated some 30,000 spectators came out for the game (that’s three times the usual amount at Aggies games, if that’s any indication). Las Cruces High are the reigning 5A state champions in football, with a remarkable 13-0 record. Rival.com puts Las Cruces High on their RivalsHigh 100 List of 2008 out of all the schools in the country. Both Mayfield and Las Cruces High have had rocky seasons so far, so the question is: will Las Cruces’s track record as state champs play in their favor, or could this game serve as Mayfield’s stepping stone to the state championship this year?
This is a fantastic Las Cruces event for people of all ages, alumni or not. Come out and eat stadium food and watch some good old fashioned football on Friday, Nov. 6 at 7pm at Aggie Memorial Stadium on the NMSU Campus. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students, and kids 6 and under are free. We hope to see you there!
