Centennial tops Artesia at the Field of Dreams

In 2015, the Centennial High School Hawks wer defeated by the Artesia Bulldogs in the State Championship match, 42-34. This is the closest the Hawks have been to winning a football state championship and having a football-shaped banner of their own to hang outside the Field of Dreams.

If today’s effort against the Artesia Bulldogs is any indication of when they might have a state championship banner to hang outside the Field of Dreams, the answer seems to be: “soon.”
