Here's a LINK to the numbers.

As predicted, Centennial is now in the top 24, making the Hawks a 6A school with a 3-year average of 1,459.

• Deming and Alamogordo, which were rumored to be moving down to 5A are now No. 24 and No. 26, respectively. Deming's avg. attendance is 1,404. Alamo's is also 1,404 (So is Farmington).

If Valley elects to play up, that would bump Deming, Farmington and Alamo all down to No. 25 and out of 6A.

• Piedra Vista is now No. 23, so they're slated to move up to 6A along with Centennial. This is where the appeals start getting interesting.

At the bottom end of 5A, Bloomfield and Kirtland Central are No. 47 and 48, so they would slide into District 1-5A easily to replace Piedra Vista. Lovington and Grants are the smallest public 5A schools at 875 each. St. Pius and Academy are 713 amd 659, respectively, also at he bottom of 5A.

• Portales is the largest 4A school at 797 followed by Moriarty, which at 785, moves down along with Bernalillo, which is now at 769.
• Thoreau and Navajo Prep are 23 and 24 in 4A at 345, and 335, respectively.

Cottonwood Classical Prep is now the largest 3A school at 295 followed by Zuni (291) and Laguna-Acoma 286.

Kyle, or anyone else question??? Do you think that there will be 4 teams that get in from district 4- 4A.. I know it's tough but what are your thoughts.

Which School Serves Up The Most Homecooking???

Friday is expected to be sunny, with a high of 56 and a low in the high 20s, and weekend weather is looking to be sunny with highs in the mid-50s and lows hovering around the freezing mark."

They have been No. 1 since the year started and while they have all the components to win 6A Coach Heath Ridenour now in his 4th year has done an excellent job leading a group of high caliber athletes. As a head coach Ridenour is 26-7 over the last three seasons. The Storm take on rival Rio Rancho this Friday Night.

Team - Eldorado Eagles
The Eldorado Eagles defeated the Manzano Monarchs last Friday Night 40-21 to finish the season 8-2 and 3-1 in district play.

Over the last two years the Eldorado Eagles have the best overall record in the City of Albuquerque winning 18 out of 22 games.

Metro Area - Aaron Bean - Atrisco Heritage

1. In general, whether it's been a program, 1st year coach, individual player, what has been a surprise this year?

2. What will you remember from the 2015 regular season?

3. Pound for pound, who has been the best NM Prep Team within the last 5-years?

4. How could New Mexico HS Football Improve?

5. What question do you have?

Daniel returned punt 70-yards for TD

Hendo: Artesia’s defense is the best I’ve seen in years. That young man by the name of Carlos Carrasco is the definition of play-maker. Beat Lovington next week and they’ll be No. 2 in the 5A bracket.

5. Rio Rancho Rams - Open
7-2, 3-0
Who’s Next: Cleveland
Notes: The Rams will be without D-1 Linemen Grant Hermanns, Quarterback Steven Bailey, and Running Back Josh Foley for the remainder of the season. They have an extra week of practice to prepare for the No. 1 ranked Storm.
Stat Leaders
Steve Bailey - Rio Rancho - 2,137 passing
Josh Foley - Rio Rancho - 1,081 rushing
Brian Drake - Rio Rancho - 603 receiving
Vicent Palmeri - Rio Rancho - 88 tackles

7. Clovis - Defeated Alamogordo 24-14
Clovis 6-3, 2-0
Alamogordo 6-2, 0-2
Who’s Next: Clovis vs. Carlsbad

Volcano Vista 6-4, 2-2
Santa Fe 0-9, 0-3
Who’s Next: Volcano Vista season complete
Who’s Next: Santa Fe vs. Cibola
Please send top performers to nmpreps@yahoo.com
Hendo: Volcano Vista is a lock to make the playoffs and should be hosting a playoff game, rest up, heel, and get ready to make a run. This tame is dangerous.

9. Manzano - Lost to Eldorado 40-21
Eldorado 8-2, 3-1
Manzano 5–4, 2-1
Who’s Next: Eldorado season complete
Who’s Next: Manzano vs. La Cueva
Jayce Jackson scored 3 touchdowns
Noah Sweitzer scored 2 touchdowns
Andrew Shelley kicked two FG’s
Orlando Perez threw TD, ran for TD
Jordan Byrd scored TD Run
Hendo: Manzano HAS to beat La Cueva next week to keep their playoff hopes alive. A loss to La Cueva would make them a bubble playoff team.

10. Sandia - Open
6-3-, 2-1
Hendo’s Take: The Matadors are a playoff lock after beating Eldorado, beat Highland next week and they’ll finish 7-3 on the season.
Stat Leaders
Jacob Archibeque - Sandia - 789 passing
Jimmy Gallegos - Sandia - 1,309 rushing

12. Alamogordo - Lost to Clovis 24-14
Clovis 6-3, 2-0
Alamogordo 6-2, 0-2
Who’s Next: Clovis vs. Carlsbad

Hendo: Alamogordo has now lost three in a row after starting out 6-0. Playoff bound? They still have a shot if they can beat Hobbs next week, consider that their playoff play-in game. If Clovis beats Carlsbad and Alamogordo beats Hobbs it creates a three-way tie for 2nd place in the district. More on that soon.

Mayfield 6-3, 3-0
Gadsden 1-8, 0-2

Hobbs 5-4, 1-1

15. Piedra Vista - Defeated Gallup 45-3
Piedra Vista 8-2, 4-0
Gallup 3-6, 1-2
Who’s Next: Piedra Vista season complete
Who’s Next: Gallup vs. Farmington

16. Moriarty - Defeated Grants 34-15
Moriarty 8-2, 2-0
Grants: 4-5, 0-1
Who’s Left: Moriarty season complete
Who’s Left: Grants vs. St. Pius X

17. Onate - Lost to Las Cruces 54-19
Las Cruces 7-2, 3-0
Onate 4-6, 2-2
Who’s Next: Las Cruces vs. Mayfield

18. St. Pius X - Open
St. Pius X now 8-1, 0-1
Who’s Next: Grants
Hendo’s Take: Finally lost their first game of the season against Moriarty, but still can land a top seed in the playoffs because of their potential 9-1 record, have Grants next weekend.
Stat Leaders
Drew Ortiz - Quarterback - Over 20 touchdowns this year

19. Roswell - Defeated Lovington 41-0
Roswell 5-4, 1-1
Lovington 1-8, 0-2
Who’s Next: Roswell vs. Goddard
Who’s Next: Lovington vs. Artesia
Hendo: Roswell is very much improved and has to be thinking about an upset over cross town rival Goddard next weekend, that would shake up the playoff brackets.

20. Hatch - Defeated Hot Springs 56-0
Hatch 10-0, 4-0
Hot Springs 5-4, 0-3
Who’s Next: Hatch Valley season complete
Hot Springs: Socorro
Hendo: Hatch Valley should have a strong case to grab the No. 1 seed complete the 4A bracket.

21. Portales - Play St. Michael’s on Saturday
Portales 8-0, 2-0
St. Mike’s 5-3, 1-1
Last Week: Portales 54, Ruidoso 0
Last Week: Hope 47, St. Mike’s 20
The Favorite: Portales
Hendo’s Take: No one is Class 4A has been able to slow down Portales and after St. Mike’s got trounced by the Huskies, this one looks like it could be all Portales.
Stat Leaders
Jamie Ramirez - Portales- 857 passing
Bronte Staugaard - Portales - 1,484 rushing

Who’s Next: Capital season complete
Who’s Next: Espanola vs. Bernalillo

25. Carlsbad
Hobbs 5-4, 1-1
Carlsbad 1-8, 1-1
Who’s Next: Hobbs vs. Alamogordo
Who’s Next: Carlsbad vs. Clovis

Preseason Rankings: No. 50 Taos Tigers

The 2015-2016 season has officially started and today we highlight one of the top 4A basketball programs in the Taos Tigers.

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

The Taos Tigers are coming off one of their most successful campaigns with a 18-12, 4-2 season, highlighted by a 2015 Final Four.

Overview: The Tigers are better when they put up points. They scored 1683 (56.1) points on the season and most games that were scored in the 60's or 70's they came out with a "W" with the exception of a few. The last three losses that they suffered they were held under 50 points. This team is well coached and head coach Daniel Trujillo is ranked in the NMPreps.com's Top 25 head coaches in New Mexico to watch in 2015-2016.

Last Season
Record: 18-12, 4-2
Post Season: Final Four, lost to West Las Vegas
Points per game: 56.1 (1683)
Points against: 53.2 (1598)

Realistic Prediction: Right now we have them 9th in 4A hoops and it shouldn't be a surprise if they are again playing for a 2-4A title. The District will be one of the best in 4A this season and could be a 4 team bid league.

District Champ: 25%
Playoff Team: Yes
Elite Eight: 75% Yes
Final Four: 30%
Title Game: 10%

Returning Players: The Tigers will replace plenty of depth from last season, graduating 8-players. With only 5-players coming back this season could be one in which they take a small step back in a rebuilding way.
