State football updates

The big school champions have been crowned, and here are the results from today's "Championship Saturday":

Class AAAAA
Las Cruces 26, Albuquerque Eldorado 21. The Bulldawgs get their first AAAAA title since 2002.

Class AAAA
Roswell Goddard 49, Aztec 45. The teams traded leads five times - including three times in the third quarter alone. Alas, the Tigers grab their 10th runner-up trophy since 1952. No one does second-best in football better.

Class AAA
Portales 48, Lovington 10. The Rams didn't just removed the monkey from their back. They stomped on it, threw it across the room and humiliated it. Portales earned its first win over Lovington in 12 seasons and its first AAA championship since 1988.
