The dawn of the varsity boys basketball season is in effect, as playoffs approach the horizon for several clubs across the city of El Paso. But in both districts, a little bit of mayhem has ensued, which has made the final playoff spots up for grabs in both districts.

It's a busy slate of playoff games on Thursday and Friday across the borderland, as teams gear up and get set for the Texas high school football playoffs this week.

The magic number is three for El Paso high school football teams: three weeks left, three weeks to make a case for a playoff run and three games left for district titles to be crowned.

In what could only be described as an instant classic, Coronado knocked off bitter rival Franklin in the Westside Bowl 35-28 on Thursday night, securing the final playoff spot in District 1-6A.  It was the first time that the T-Birds have beaten the Cougars since 2013...

Las Cruces Mayfield showed everyone at The Field of Dreams why they are one of the top teams in New Mexico by putting on a phenomenal offensive performance against Franklin.  Mayfield, who has participated in back-to-back class 6A state championship games defeated the Cougars 69-49...

The Franklin Cougars knocked off Canutillo 21-20 to open up the 2015 season in a close, competitive game that came down to the wire.  The victory marked the second consecutive season that the Cougars defeated the Eagles in the opener...

In one of the most entertaining high school football games that one could ever hope to witness, Las Cruces Mayfield defeated Franklin 62-55 at Quarles Thunderbird Stadium.

Las Cruces Mayfield proved why they are one of the elite teams in the state of New Mexico by knocking off 1-5A powerhouse Franklin 44-42 at the Field Of Dreams.

The San Angelo Central Bobcats and the Franklin Cougars kicked off Time Warner Cable Sports' 31st season of broadcasting high school sports with a bang! The Bobcats spotted the Cougars a two-touchdown lead before roaring back to win, 71-55.

Congratulations to Mitchell Marcus, to Coronado High School and Peter Morales, to Jonathon Montañez and the Franklin Cougars -- you did it. You made SportsCenter.
