New Mexico is building the foundation of their program with their first full class under Coach Gonzales. Last year focused on the trenches while this one appeared to have a concentrated effort on skill players. Regardless of the position, they built the class in the same way as the last one; locally and finding players who want to be part of a new program. To read more about this class, scroll below.
Tractor driver, John Harrison, has been disqualified from driving for 12 months after Ben Johnson, a father-of-six, was killed when his tractor collided with the car in which he was a passenger.
Harrison was also ordered to pay £230 in costs and surcharge
