Damien Ocampo coaching state title game

Of note, former New Mexico State and Western New Mexico quarterback Damien Ocampo will be coaching in a state championship football game this weekend. Ocampo is the head coach at Class 3A school, Socorro, which will will meet Lovington for the title.

Ocampo also served as a head coach at Gadsden High School a few years back. He comes from a strong family of coaching. His brothers Simon and Aaron are coaching and his father is also a veteran coach.

Ocampo has always had confidence in what he can do and he's apparently done some very good things at Socorro to get that school in line for a title.
