#18 Quemado Eagles
The moment appears to be the perfect moment for Quemado to seize its first state title in the program in history. Coming off a stellar runner-up performance led by now senior Noah Bugayong who capped off a 3rd place finish. It will be no easy task this fall despite returning three of the four-state runners from this spring including a pair of freshmen with Mason Taylor (20th) and Jack George (25th). Although not official we project that runners from the 2019 roster like Cable Angelus will remerge on the team after competing in track this spring. Angelus brings in some of that state championship experience as a 62nd place finisher from 2019 which the Eagles will crucially need if they want to fend off other schools rising up the ladder in A/2A. Although schools like Cloudcroft and Cimarron appear like they will be taking a step back due to graduations they shouldn't be overlooked for a classification that can pull off surprises in an abundance.
