Roberts said his team has improved immensely since a season-opening 48-0 loss to Mountainair last month.
"We're starting to really come together as a team," he said. "Everybody's kind of figuring out their positions. From Week One till now is just a totally different team just because everybody has learned their spot. It's just awesome to watch the improvement each week."
McLean fell to 2-1. MaxPreps.com had not issued six-man football rankings going into the game, but Roberts expects them to rate highly.
