5A BASEBALL

Rio Rancho (9-1 overall): The Rams started their season in Texas taking on the likes of Pebble Hills, Horizon, Eastlake, Coronado and dropped their only game to Americas. They moved along against New Mexico teams and came out with an 8-7 win over Hobbs.

Carlsbad (8-2 overall): Another team that will be there late this post season is the Cavemen who have an 8-2 record overall but 6-0 vs New Mexico teams and have moved along smoothly against them winning 50-5 during those six games.

4A BASEBALL

St. Pius X (6-1 overall): After dropping the first game of the season to a top-ranked La Cueva Bears team, the Sartans have won 6-straight including an extra inning win over Albuquerque Academy.

Albuquerque Academy (8-1 overall): We've mentioned their one loss of the season but the Chargers and Sartans are favorites to meet again in May for the final game. Outside of that one 5-4 loss in extras to SPX the Chargers have 96 runs to 10 in the other 8-games.

What are your takeaways from the 1st round?

Who are you taking in the quarterfinals?

The game everyone wanted to see! About 10 minutes from the start!

When Coach Woody started at Highland, he took over a struggling program at a school that wasn't winning in any sport. In his second year (2017-18), they went 3-22. Two years later, they were in the state finals. Two years after that, they won the first boys basketball title at Highland in 50 years. Congrats to a good guy.
