Preseason Rankings: No. 14 West Mesa Mustangs

The 2015-2016 season has officially started and today we start our countdown of the top 50 programs in New Mexico Big School Division (6A-4A).

More: Preseason Rankings Home: 50-1 | Rankings 72-51 | Preseason Preview Page

The West Mesa Mustangs are coming off one of their best seasons in over 20-years. At, (17-11, 4-4) the Mustangs made the Elite Eight, playing in the PIT.

Overview: Head coach Shonn Schroer has one of the hardest tasks in building a program that has lost kids, or population to brand new high schools Volcano Vista and Atrisco Heritage. Schroer, had one of his best teams last season, graduate some talent but have a foundation moving forward in 2015-2016. Most of what this season success' will be on the shoulders of Drew Wassana (2016) a forward/wing that averaged 15.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game leading the team.

Last Season
Record: 17-11, 4-4
Home Record: 6-3
Away Record: 6-4
Neutral Record: 5-4
Post Season: Elite Eight; Lost to Hobbs (72-47)
Points per game: 56.4 (1581)
Points against: 53.6 (1501)

Realistic Prediction: It will be hard to duplicate an Elite Eight run for the Mustangs who graduated their point guard. Wassana, is a top talent, likely one of the best players in the Metro area this coming season (if the rumor is false that he has transferred) he could have them in any contest this season. For this team we have them at 15-19 wins, closer to 15, and a First Round Game for our realistic prediction.

District Champ: 40%
Playoff Team: 70%
Elite Eight: 15%
Final Four: 5%
Title Game: 1%

Returning Players: Wassana was huge for the Mustangs last season, after him they graduate plenty of what they did in 2014-2015 and plenty of holes need to be filled. Ray Griego, is the next scoring option after playing in 25 contests averaging 4.1 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.

Roster
Adan Maldonado (2016)
Ray Griego (2016)
Juziah Ortiz (2016)
Ryan Saiz (2017)
Rivas Damian (2017)
Mike Sanchez (2017)
Domonic Fischer (2017)
Ray Moya (2017)
Kennan Walton (2017)
Elijah Perez (2018)

Why is this important? Well Iowa State hand already landed 6-foot-7, 265 pound offensive linemen Grant Hermanns out of Rio Rancho. Will he stay committed? I don't think it's likely according my sources. Story developing.

So my son, Nic, got his 1st start at QB last night for the Rams. He has played his whole high school career in Reno NV as the starting QB (undeafeted 2 years in a row) and has played a lot of receiver this year. With Bailey out, Coach Howes gave him a shot and despite the loss, I think he had a great game. If you were there, I am curious on your thoughts of how he played! Sometimes parents are a little bias

Defeat Gateway 30-28 - More to follow

NMSU wins again, 37-34 on the road at Louisiana tonight to make it 3 in a row. NMSU moves to 3-7. This team could easily be 6-4 right now. Look like the program is going in the right direction under Doug Martin.

QB, Andrew Allen, led NMSU to the win on the same day he buried his father who is in law enforcement in Texas, was killed during a off-duty security job he was working.

1st of all let me take my hat off to the Clovis Wildcats. They definitely showed up defensively, plus holding calls on every Trojans' 1st or 2nd down can't hurt.

I can honestly say for the most parts the fans were very polite and wished us all a safe trip home.

Now I'm gonna rip into the a few Wildcats Fans. FYI, don't sit on the Vistors side and call the cops when the Visiting team starts scoring, winning, & Cheering!!! Really???

I am speechless. That's why we play the game!!!!

Robertson beat Bloomfield 49-6
Cobre beat Rudiso good too. What was the final!

Preseason Rankings: No. 22 Espanola Valley Sundevils

The 2015-2016 season has officially started and today we start our countdown of the top 50 programs in New Mexico Big School Division (6A-4A).

More: Preseason Rankings Home: 50-1 | Rankings 72-51 | Preseason Preview Page

The Espanola Valley Sundevils are returning after a 23-7, 7-1 season in which they reached the 2015 Final Four.

Overview: People are high on the Espanola Valley Sundevils and they should be, as the Sundevils are one of the more exciting teams to watch. However, some could argue that the Top-25 ranking could potential be too low for the Sundevils who graduate one of the best guards in the state in Jared Garduno from last season. The Sundevils will look to guards Uriah Arellano (2016) and Elias Archuleta (2016) in 2015-2016. The Devils who are a quick transition team will look to continue their pace as one of the best basketball programs north of Albuquerque in 5A.

Last Season
Record: 23-7, 7-1
Home Record: 11-0
Away Record: 7-2
Neutral Record: 5-5
Post Season: Final Four; Lost to Centennial (80-53)
Points per game: 61.96 (1859)
Points against: 55.6 (1668)


Realistic Prediction: Five of the losses suffered by Espanola Valley was by its opponent scoring over 80 points on them. One thing the Devils do well is run and push the tempo but when the opposition is better at it or can run along side the Devils they could be in trouble. This season they lose Garduno who had the ability to take over those situations when his team needed a bucket. They have quality returning players but will take a small step back in my opinion. I think the 15-19 range is not a bad spot to start and likely an Elite Eight team at best in 2016.

District Champ: 85%
Playoff Team: 75%
Elite Eight: 65%
Final Four: 10%
Title Game: 5%

Returning Players: We mentioned the two top players that return in Arrellano and Archuleta. They graduate five players from last season but have some young talent looking to fill some holes.
