The New Mexico Highlands football team was picked to finish sixth in the 10-team Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference preseason coaches poll, released Wednesday.
The Cowboys, who went 6-5 last year and 4-5 in RMAC games, had two players — linebackers Dawson Chapman and Dontaivious Nelson — selected to the preseason All-RMAC team.
NMHU also finished sixth in last season's standings and in the preseason poll — one in which coaches could not vote for their own team.
This year, the Cowboys earned 38 points.
Defending champion CSU Pueblo was picked to win the league, receiving eight — of a possible 10 — first place votes. Western Colorado (picked second) and Chadron State (picked fourth) each received two first place votes, as well. Colorado School of Mines was picked third, with no first place votes.
