Poll: Most Likely to Upset in Week 9

Feature Key Games for Week 9

Playoff Positioning: Belen (1-6) at Highland (5-1)-Thurs,, Cibola (6-1) at Rio Rancho (5-2), Dexter (3-4) at NMMI (4-4), Valencia (2-5) at SPX (1-6)-Sat.

This group is the biggest as we enter the week. We have teams close to each other in the NMPreps rankings and a win or loss could determine where the land in the final bracket release.

In-N-Out: Sandia (3-4) at Farmington (3-4).

Sandia could be on the official pop. A win here could keep hopes alive. This is an early radar game (close late). Farmington needs to avoid a let down, especially at home.

District Championship Type: Santa Teresa (3-4) at Deming (3-4)-Thurs., Roswell (6-1) at Artesia (5-2).

We don't have official district championship games but these could end up being the game that determines a DC and automatic bid to state.

Challengers: Hatch Valley (5-1) at Socorro (7-0), Hobbs (6-1) at Alamogordo (4-3)

Hatch Valley gets a shot at an undefeated and contender for the state championship in Socorro. Alamogordo caught our attention last week with a win over Las Cruces, can they do it again? Hobbs earned more believers and now they have to prove that they truly are a state contender.

Class Top-4 Level: Mayfield (4-3) at Goddard (5-2), Portales (6-1) at Albuquerque Academy (5-2), St. Mikes (6-1) at Raton (7-1)

5A, 4A, 3A in the order. Mayfield and Goddard still have a shot at the DC but projected to end in third and fourth in district play. The winner of this one could still snag a top-four seed. Portales and Academy in the same boat, Portales is our newly ranked #1 team in 4A. St. Mikes and Raton could determine the 4 and 5 seed in the state playoff.
