Which tournaments do we have coming up in December?

Week 6: Quick Reactions from Tuesday

This feature will recap the games from the previous night in New Mexico High School basketball.

Week 6: New Mexico High School basketball scores

Best Win
Bernalillo 62, Grants 60: Bernalillo is ranked high in just about every poll in 4A basketball. They had a test on Tuesday night against rival Grants at home. The win helps the resume and likely the best win for a team that still needed to make believers.

Best Resume Win
St. Pius X 77, Gallup 55: The Sartans hosted Gallup on Tuesday night and improve to (6-1) after a convincing 22-point win. Gallup should be in play for the DC in 1-5A and St. Pius X will have to battle in a DC where they could finish (1-3). This resume helps them and the District.

Upset of the Night
Portales 76, Goddard 72 (OT): The Portales Rams extend their win streak to 3 games after a 0-2 start to the season. This win is a signature win and helps their resume. Goddard drops to 4-5 on the season but doesn't have a bad loss on the resume and if Portales runs the table (like they could) this still won't hurt.

Quality Control
Silver 56, Alamogordo 39; Espanola Valley 64, Santa Fe 55; Hobbs 81, Lovington 70: The favorites won in each contest. Silver could be looking more and more like a favorite in 4A. Also, for the first time 4A could be intriguing in the playoffs.

Best Small School Win (3A-1A)
Tatum 53, Eunice 49: Solid win for the Coyotes over the Cardinals as they move to 4-2 on the season and earn a quality win for the 2A program that will have its hands full with the likes of Jal, Hagerman and Gateway Christian.

District Power
3-4A: Silver rolled, Socorro (over LA) won and Hot Springs (over Santa Teresa) notched a solid win. Hatch Valley lost big but overall not a bad night for the District. Could become an interesting race down the end for second/third with the Colts (Silver) leading the way.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12th

St. Pius X 77, Gallup 55
Tatum 53, Eunice 49

Aztec vs Shiprock: A game in Northwest New Mexico worth the watch. Aztec at (3-2) is a team that we are still wondering if they are 5A top ten worthy. Shiprock, is Shiprock.

Socorro at Magdalena: Close rivals both have 1-loss on the season MHS (6-1) and Socorro (9-1). Neither should be hurt with a loss but could gain from a win.

Santa Fe (3-6) at Espanola Valley (4-4): We all know the reason this will be one to watch.

St. Pius X (5-2) at Los Alamos (4-7): Is Los Alamos a top ten team? St. Pius X a favorite for the 5A title or close to it?

Bloomfield (6-1) at Piedra Vista (5-1): Is Bloomfield the real deal? We have them ranked 2 in 5A and this win is one that they can have bragging rights in NWNM. Is PV a top ten team in 6A? They should be but this win could help power ranking and resume.

If you could...... send your son to any school for HS football in NM?

If you could...... replay HS football. What would you do different?

If you could...... hire any NM (past or present) HC as an AD who would you hire?
