The Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) ranked the Eagles as the ninth best 5A football team in the region that spans from El Paso to Dallas, according to a poll released by the theathleticsdepartment.com website this week. 

The ranking for CHS is the highest among all 5A schools in the El Paso region. Only one other school, Del Valle was ranked in the top 10, and four other area high schools received votes but were not ranked. 

The THSCA ranking comes on the heels of another statewide honor for the Eagle football team. 

Friday Night Football magazine ranked CHS as one of the top 50 teams in Texas 5A football in its fall 2014 issue.  Canutillo is the only El Paso-area school to be ranked in any classification. 

“Our kids put their heart and soul on that field, and it is great to see that their hard work is being recognized by others throughout the state,” said Eagles Head Coach Scott Brooks. “We are in a new District this year, and we want to make a difference during our inaugural season with this new group.”

Canutillo was the last El Paso area team playing football during the 2013 season after earning bi-district and area championships in the UIL 4A football playoffs.

The Eagles this year will play in District 1-5A after the UIL rearranged athletic districts earlier this year.

CHS opens 2014 play against the Franklin Cougars.  Game starts at 7 p.m. on Aug. 29 on the Orange & Blue Field of the Coach Julius & Irene Lowenberg Eagles Stadium.
