Play ball . . .

It's Valentines Day. Best Chocolate, candy, or gift?

One pick, you can't pick something already picked.

The NFHS announced that for soccer, home teams will now wear dark jerseys while visitors will wear white, reversing the long-standing rule. That is what football does, while basketball teams wear white at home. I think in baseball, teams can wear whatever they want.

What do you prefer? I like the idea of home whites.

Tonight we will see many "bubbles" pop in the bubble type of night.

Bubble Team: Valencia (8-18) travels to Belen (19-7) for a 5-5A game. The Jaguars are likely on the outside of the bubble as of today. Belen is somewhere between a 3-5 seed. Also, in 5-5A opening round play is the Grants Pirates (10-14) traveling to Albuquerque to play St. Pius X (15-9). The Pirates are on the crowded 5A bubble.

Last Four Teams: Goddard (12-14) at Lovington (12-14). The opening round of the 4-5A tournament puts two teams looking for their seat in the tournament.

Bubble Hopeful: Piedra Vista (12-13) at Cibola (5-19). In the opening round of the 1-6A tournament Piedra Vista can't afford a loss, but they are on the road at Cibola.

Southern Bubble: Gadsden (9-15) at Carlsbad (12-14). Gadsdsen has likely played themselves out of the state tournament at this point, 1-5 in last 6, but that's why we play this week. 3-6A first round game.

What do you have this week?

Should we do away with districts in football?

this is a suggestion:
Starting Jan. 1st 2019 the NMAA should post what the bracket would look like as of that day. Coaches and people on this site are racking our brains on how brackets will look like. Around district time the NMAA should post brackets for all 5 classes so coaches know where they stand as the season draws to a close.

Just an idea

Gallup fell to Kirtland Central, 55-54 and Aztec upset Bloomfield - their second upset of the week. Gallup and Kirtland Central will now play a tie-breaker for 1st place, both are 8-2. Miyamura finished third. Bloomfield, Farmington and Aztec each tied for 4th at 3-7. So now we head to the tie breaker for these teams (a. higher head to head in district play). If it's straight up records - Bloomfield is (3-1), Farmington (2-2), and Aztec (1-3).

District 1-6A comes down to Saturday. Volcano Vista beat Cleveland last night 58-44. Volcano Vista now moves to Saturday against Piedra Vista where they can clinch the 1-6A DC. If they lose they will play a tie-breaker game with Cleveland.

*Reminder our weekly team rankings are a week to week progression.

Does NMSU Break through to a Regional with a couple two or three nationally ranked recruiting classes in a row?

Lobos are young...but do they continue to compete for another regional? Can they beat some Power 5 teams consistently during non conference?

Is this Texas Tech’s year to make a real push to win the National Championship? Just getting to Omaha isn’t the goal this year in Lubbock.
