Scrimmages who and when???

FRIDAY
Rio Rancho (14-11) at Cleveland (22-3)
Atrisco Heritage (17-6) at Volcano Vista (17-6)

District Standings (District 1 - Metro West)
Atrisco Heritage (5-2)
Cleveland (4-3)
Rio Rancho (4-3)
Volcano Vista (3-4)
Cibola (2-6)

Scoop: So much to view in this district. Atrisco win could sew up the regular season championship. A loss could force a tie breaker playoff game for 1st. Volcano Vista has dropped, a loss will have them finishing in 4th - cold take (when we got called out for a potential 6-seed, well, you were sort of right because they could now be 7 or higher although you meant they would have a better seed). Rio Rancho has a big shot at moving into the top-8 seeds or better). So much to watch this Friday in this district.

What to watch today?

Last week. What do you have?

5A
Onate (21-4) vs Gadsden (13-11): Gadsden needs a win after dropping a "bad" loss last week. Onate, with the win over Las Cruces, is the best of the forgotten favorites.

West Mesa (11-11) at Eldorado (19-4): West Mesa is maybe the most inconsistent team that is still fighting for a playoff bid, but if they get in could be dangerous. Eldorado has suffered some interesting losses lately.

Alamogordo (14-10) at Las Cruces (22-2): Las Cruces still considered a favorite for the 1-seed and Alamogordo a handful of the bubbles teams fighting to get in.

4A
Portales (10-14) at Artesia (16-8): Portales has jumped back into the IN group and an upset over district leading Artesia would help solidify the IN.

Del Norte (13-9) at Highland (11-10): This district is the best. Could have four teams get a top-8 seed. Highland needing the win more than any other; possibility of being under .500 by the end of the week, so a big week is needed.

Hope Christian (14-10) at Valley (16-6): Hope and Valley could play for the state championship. They could also meet a couple more times in the next two weeks.

Lovington (12-11) at Goddard (10-14): Is this the play-in game?

Movement:
Out: Gadsden, Cibola | New: La Cueva, West Mesa

Scoop: Chaos. Damage Control. The last two weeks have the "them over them, but them over them" debate. Plenty of musical chairs in our second to final Power-16 rankings at NMPreps.coms.

4A BASKETBALL POWER 16

No. 15 Bernalillo (9-15 overall, 0-8 district)
No. 16 Goddard (10-14 overall, 2-2 district)

Out: Lovington (16) | In: Portales (13)

Scoop: The field is setting into place on ranking the teams week to week. Portales made a jump this week with wins over Goddard and Lovington. Artesia hops Taos and Espanola Valley after Taos was upset by Pojoaque Valley.

Congratulations to Trinity Herrera (Pecos) on scoring her 1000th career point today.

Graduated from Mayfield in 2018, went to Eastern Arizona and was one of the top hitters in the ACCAC as a freshman. NMSU signs him after one year at EAC and then yesterday on opening day as a sophomore, he starts in left field for the Aggies and goes 3-4 in his first D1 game in the leadoff spot.

Saenz is quite small, but extremely fast and obviously has a great bat. Incredibly fast rise for a local kid who didn’t get tons of attention in HS. Congrats to Zerek!

Thoughts?

Greatest tv theme song.

Bosque (17-3) at Cuba (10-11)
Cibola (9-12) at Volcano Vista (16-5)
Miyamura (6-16) at Gallup (17-5)
Moriarty (7-14) at Espanola Valley (14-8)
Rio Rancho (11-11) at Atrisco Heritage (15-6)
Tularosa (14-6) at NMMI (11-5)

Scoop: Bosque and Cuba has some affect to the 3A bracket watch. Cuba upset the Bobcats in the first game, the Bobcats need a win on the rebound.

5A Talk: Rio Rancho at Atrisco Heritage. The Rams are sitting in fourth in district play and Atrisco Heritage in first, with a perfect district run. Trap game? Line is Atrisco (-6), they won the first game 49-46 (OT) in Rio Rancho on January 24th.

More Small School Hoops: Tularosa and NMMI could be battle for a seat in March - top 8 seat - and this one could be used in the criteria debate.

Interesting article about the finances (and I would add current perception) of the PAC 12
