University of New Mexico coach Danny Gonzales said he envies those who can attend the Cleveland-Rio Rancho high school rivalry football game on Friday night.
Gonzales would most likely be at that game if not for a UNM Athletics fund-raiser dinner taking place at the same time.
However, other UNM coaches will be at the game as it is the Lobos’ bye week and the staff will be busy recruiting, including in New Mexico.
Gonzales, who played high school football at Valley and has made it a point to recruit in New Mexico, said this is a big weekend for high school football in the state and it will only get better in the upcoming playoffs.
