2024 Review
The McCurdy Bobcats had one of their best seasons in recent memory in 2024, finishing 7-4 overall and 4-1 in District 1-2A, earning the No. 9 seed in the Class 2A state playoffs. After a narrow 30-26 opening loss to Cobre, the Bobcats reeled off six straight wins, including dominant performances over Tucumcari (50-42), Wingate (50-7), Newcomb (34-0), Santa Fe Indian (56-8), Laguna-Acoma (41-30), and a pivotal district victory against Cuba (14-6). The team’s hot streak cooled late, with losses Navajo Prep in the final regular-season game and a 54-30 loss to Navajo Prep again in the first round of the playoffs. Still, it was a strong showing that solidified McCurdy as a top-10 team in 2A by the end of the seasn.
