<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ALBUQUERQUE </strong>– Alamogordo was cautiously optimistic heading into the 2025 season that if the Tigers stayed healthy – unlike last season when injuries ravaged the roster – they had the talent for a very nice season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So far, so good.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1606032' first='Tristan' last='Bowman']</strong> returned the second half kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and dynamic quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1600835' first='Nathanael' last='Best']</strong> ran for a pair of 4-yard touchdowns in the fourth quarter as Alamogordo rallied for a 31-20 victory over Albuquerque High Friday night at Milne Stadium.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alamogordo improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2015 and will travel to Piedra Vista in Week 4.
