Week 6 Rewind: Top Teams From Week 6

As the New Mexico high school baseball season powers through its sixth week, several teams across the state made headlines with statement wins and tournament titles. From a resurgence in 5A to dominant performances in 4A and a streaking contender in 3A, here are the biggest winners from Week Six.

5A Baseball
Perfect Storm: Cleveland Storm Go 3-0, Win Sal Puentes Invite

What a difference a week makes. After slipping in the rankings and suffering a three-game losing streak during Week Five, the Cleveland Storm bounced back in dominant fashion to become the biggest riser of the week.

Cleveland (11-5) stormed through the Sal Puentes Invitational at Rio Rancho High School, going 3-0 with a trio of impressive victories. They opened with a 7-1 win over No. 1-ranked 4A Artesia, followed it up with a thrilling 4-3 victory over No. 1-ranked 5A La Cueva, and capped off the weekend by beating Carlsbad 7-4 in the championship game.

The Storm now carry major momentum into the start of district play on Tuesday when they face off against Cibola.

4A Baseball
Huskies Howl: Hope Christian Claims Moriarty Tournament Title

Hope Christian (10-4) made a loud statement in Week Six, going 3-0 to win the Moriarty Tournament. The Huskies capped off their championship run with a 3-0 win over Belen behind a dominant pitching performance from senior Jacob Gergen.

Gergen (2025) was untouchable, striking out 11 batters over seven innings while facing 21 batters and allowing no runs. The win highlighted the Huskies’ growing momentum as they push towards district slate of games.

3A Baseball
Trending Timberwolves: East Mountain on the Rise

Look out, 3A — the East Mountain Timberwolves (8-5) are heating up. Winners of six straight, East Mountain went 2-0 in Week Six with an 8-2 win over St. Michael’s and a 9-8 thriller over Albuquerque High on Saturday.

Senior Rylen Radosevich and junior Charles Birdwell powered the offense. Radosevich tallied 4 RBIs, 2 hits, a double, and a triple, while Birdwell added a home run, 3 hits, 3 RBIs, and 3 runs scored. With their recent form, the Timberwolves are quickly emerging as a serious contender for the 3A title.

Poll: 2025 New Mexico Coach of the Year Award

As the 2025 New Mexico high school basketball season comes to a close, a standout group of coaches has risen to the top for Coach of the Year consideration. From dominant state champions to dramatic program turnarounds, these leaders left a lasting impact on their teams and communities. Here’s a look at this year’s top candidates across all classifications.

Greg Brown – Volcano Vista (29-2, 5A State Champions) - Vote Now
Brown has firmly cemented himself as one of New Mexico’s all-time greats, guiding Volcano Vista to its fourth straight 5A state title. The Hawks finished 29-2 and played with poise, depth, and intensity from start to finish. Brown’s ability to keep his program hungry and consistent year after year speaks volumes about his leadership and culture-building.

Joey Trujillo – Española Valley (24-7, 4A Final Four) - Vote Now
Trujillo’s Sundevils made a thrilling run to the 4A Final Four behind one of the state's most passionate fan bases. After an up-and-down regular season, Española Valley hit their stride in March.

Adam Bustos – Robertson (28-4, 3A State Champions) - Vote Now
Bustos led the Cardinals to a dominant 3A championship season, finishing 28-4 and showing control on both sides of the court. Robertson's postseason run was a clinic in execution and composure, reflective of Bustos' coaching acumen.

Michael Mondragon – Artesia (21-9, 4A State Champions) - Vote Now
In one of the season’s best storylines, Mondragon brought a state title back to Artesia for the first time in 28 years. His Bulldogs overcame adversity and a loaded 4A field to capture the crown, finishing 21-9. Mondragon's leadership and belief in his team paid off when it mattered most.

Kyle Griffiths – Logan (26-3, 1A State Champions) - Vote Now
Griffiths guided Logan to a 26-3 record and a dominant run through the 1A bracket to secure a state championship. The Longhorns played with precision and heart all season, and Griffiths’ ability to keep them focused and playing unselfishly was key to their success.

Craig Cook – Texico (29-2, 2A State Champions) - Vote Now
Texico was a force in 2A all year, and Cook’s fingerprints were all over their 29-2 season. His Wolverines were balanced, well-coached, and peaked at the right time.

Gabriel Martinez – Cibola (18-11, 5A State Tournament Berth) - Vote Now
Perhaps no program saw a bigger turnaround than Cibola under Martinez. After going 6-21 last season, the Cougars reached the state tournament for the first time since 2017 and posted their first double-digit win season since 2016-17. Martinez's work in year three has brought excitement and pride back to the westside Albuquerque school.

Danny Brown – Sandia (27-4, 5A State Runner-Up) - Vote Now
Brown’s Matadors were seconds away from a state title, falling in a thrilling overtime championship game. Sandia went 27-4 and played one of the state’s most complete styles of basketball. Brown's mix of toughness and tactical knowledge had Sandia ranked near the top all season long.

Thomas Vigil – Mesa Vista (26-5, 2A State Runner-Up) - Vote Now
Vigil had Mesa Vista within reach of a 2A state title, finishing with a strong 26-5 record. The Trojans were a tough matchup for everyone in the bracket and consistently played with the kind of grit that reflects Vigil’s coaching identity.

Dude Burrola – Roswell (24-8, 5A Final Four) - Vote Now
Roswell wasn’t on many people’s radar to start the year, but under Burrola, they became one of 5A’s most dangerous squads. Improving from a 16-14 record, the Coyotes made a surprising run to the Final Four, showcasing strong guard play and a no-fear attitude. Burrola’s ability to maximize his team’s potential earns him a deserved spot on this list.
