Nightly Notes for Tuesday

Lovington stays alive with upset over Artesia. Lovington the last place seed in the tournament is also on the bubble (17th team in the latest bracketology) and could be playing their way IN with the win.

Santa Fe fought and battled but the loss could mean they are home this post season. They sit at 16 right now and need early exists from other hopeful bubble teams like Highland.

Dexter might of seen the bubble pop with a loss to Eunice in the district tournament. Cobre keeping their bubble hopes alive and need a win at Socorro to secure it. Miyamura loss to Piedra Vista ends their hopes.

Coach Gunther - Sandia

I'm sure most of you know that Coach Gunther has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer and will begin treatment next week. Besides your prayers the Gunther's will need held.

The Gunther Family has set up a gofundme.com account and we are taking a donation of restaurant gift cards so the family can take more time to spend with and care for Coach. If you would like to bring a gift card by to the ABA we will get it over to the Gunther's next week.

Thank you and God Bless

Feature: Eunice Lady Cardinals Flying High

Feature: Eunice Lady Cardinals Flying High

Going undefeated during a 30-game season is almost unrealistic for any high school basketball team. The last girls basketball team to go undefeated was the 2009 Pojoaque Elkettes who went 31-0 under Lanse Carter. Before that we have to go back to the 2005 season when Miles Waters led the Clovis Lady Wildcats to a 30-0 season.

Currently there are just three girls basketball teams which are undefeated as we head closer to the month of February. Gallup in Class 5A with a 18-0, Tularosa with a 18-0 record, and the Eunice Cardinals with a record of 17-0. We’ll feature both Gallup and Tularosa in the next week, today we caught up with Head Eunice Girls Basketball coach Jimmie Jones who is also the City of Eunice Chief of Police. You
think you’re busy..

Week 15: District Tournament Schedules and Predictions

Week 15: District Tournaments, Predictions and Bids
Joshua Grine

6A Basketball

District 1-6A
Play-Off for 1st: (1) Cibola vs (1) Cleveland, Tues, 5:30p
1st Rd: (5) Santa Fe at (4) Volcano Vista, Tues, 7:30p
2nd Rd: 5/4 winner at (3) Rio Rancho, TBA
Semi-Final: 2nd Rd Winner at (2) Seed
Championship: Semi-Final Winner at (1) Seed

Prediction: This district, top-to-bottom is the best district in terms of quality of teams. Likely, a fifth match-up between Cleveland and Cibola but how much fun would that be in a prediction for a district like this. Winner - Volcano Vista

District 2-6A
1st Rd: (3) Eldorado vs (4) Highland, Wed, 5:30, at La Cueva
1st Rd: (2) La Cueva vs (5) Manzano, Wed, 7:15, at La Cueva
Semi-Final: 1st Round Winners, Fri, 7:15p
Championship: Semi-Final Winner at (1) Sandia, Sat, 7:15p

Prediction: Sandia is one of the hottest teams in the state right now and I don't see any slowing down in the championship on Saturday. One team, for unknown reasons, I like is Highland if any team was going to make the upset. Since February 5th they are 3-3 with quality wins over Rio Grande and La Cueva.

District 3-6A
1st Rd: (5) Deming 49, (4) Mayfield 48
2nd Rd: (5) Deming at (3) Las Cruces, TBA
Semi-Final: 2nd Rd Winner at (2) Gadsden, TBA
Championship: Semi-Final Winner at (1) Onate, TBA

Prediction: Our pick is Onate. Not to sure who to take in our upset pick possibility but if we had to take one Las Cruces is playing well lately. However, Onate has won each district contest by at least 18 points.

District 4-6A
Play-Off Game: Carlsbad 66, Hobbs 49
1st Round: (3) Alamogordo vs (4) Clovis
Semi-Final: 1st Round Winner at (2) Hobbs
Championship: Semi-Final Winner at (1) Carlsbad

Prediction: Carlsbad. However, if we have an upset pick to either win the tournament and send the bracket into chaos is the Alamogordo Tigers. I see them playing in the title game at the very least.

District 5-6A
1st Rd: (5) West Mesa at (4) Atrisco, Tues, TBA
2nd Rd: 1st Rd Winner at (3) Rio Grande, Wed, 7p
Semi-Final: 2nd Rd Winner at (2) Albuquerque, TBA
Championship: Semi-Final Winner at (1) Valley, Sat, TBA

Prediction: Valley has to be the favorite, currently riding a 6-game win streak. If we had to take an upset we would go with (3) Rio Grande.

6A: Bracketology Chaos. First To Last

6A: Bracketology Chaos. First To Last
Joshua J Grine

The year was 2003 and the 5th seed, in a five team district, Espanola Valley Sundevils won four games in one week to win the District 2-4A Championship.

Will we see this again? Who knows, but we look into some possibilities along with non-top seeds to win it all.

Upset Prediction Picks: 6A Basketball
4-Seed Alamogordo in 4-6A.
4-Seed Volcano Vista in 1-6A.
4-Seed Highland in 2-6A.
5-Seed Santa Fe in 1-6A.
3-Seed Las Cruces in 3-5A.

What it would mean. If Alamogordo or Highland were to make the run and win their district then it would likely knock to other bubble teams out. The field is basically settled maybe except for the 16-seed but this would knock two teams out and that is likely La Cueva and Santa Fe.

Week 15: Monday Night Summary

Monday
Capital 60, Espanola Valley 58
Carlsbad 64, Hobbs 46
Crownpoint 45, Rehoboth 40
Laguna-Acoma 83, Estancia 73
Los Lunas 53, Centennial 51
Pojoaque Valley 61, Taos 56
Robertson 63, West Las Vegas 45
Tohatchi 63, Newcomb 43
Valencia 67, Santa Teresa 52

Top Performers
Martin Trujillo - Los Lunas - Scored 30 points vs Centennial.
Hunter Wisneski - Los Lunas Scored 10 points vs Centennial.
James Garcia - Pojoaque Valley - Scored 16 points vs Robertson
Chris Cordova - Pojoaque Valley - Scored 15 points vs Robertson
Pierre Swain - Hobbs - 17 points vs Carlsbad.
Ralph Cueto - Carlsbad - Scored 24 points, 2 rebounds vs Hobbs.
Brenden Boatwright - Carlsbad - Scored 18 points, 8 rebounds vs Hobbs.

What We Learned
1. Los Lunas might be the likely sleeper in the crowd. We say sleeper because they could be a 4-8 seed and truly make a run to the title game.

2. Espanola Valley better than given credit. Two close games against a Final Four favorite and might be a Final Four team to look at.

3. Carlsbad continues coming to form. They put a stomping on Hobbs again and truly looking like the team we though in preseason.
