Week 8: What to Watch This Week
J Grine
Another short week of hoops before the new year. However, it will feature three top regular season tournaments. The main one of course is the Hobbs Holiday Tournament. A few top ranked teams from 6A in Cleveland (No. 3 NMPreps.com Top 16), Eldorado (No. 4) and Hobbs (No. 15). It also features Kirtland Central from 5A basketball, ranked No. 6.
Likely, the top 5A bracket each season is the Poe Corn Invite held at both Roswell high schools - Roswell and Goddard. Six of the eight teams in the field are currently ranked in the NMPreps.com Top-16. No. 5 Los Alamos, No. 8 Roswell, No. 9 Gallup, and No. 10 Artesia all inside the top-10. Goddard (No. 14) and Lovington (No. 15) round the field. Bloomfield and Farmington in the field representing the northwest region (1-5A).
A must-see opening round game is the No. 1 Las Cruces Bulldawgs squaring off with the No. 7 Albuquerque High Bulldogs at the Valencia County Holiday Tournament. Los Lunas (No. 3 NMPreps.com 5A Top16) is the other top level team. All three on the top half of the bracket. Alamogordo (No. 16) and host Valencia (No. 13) are newly ranked this week after both earned big wins.
