Daily Dimes - Tuesday, December 12th
J Grine
Today, we highlight the games to watch on December 12th in New Mexico High School basketball.
Rapid Fire: Tuesday Lineup
Resume Builder: Gallup (4-2) at St. Pius X (5-1). Both teams should finish at the top of their district and both will be playoff teams. This could be the difference between a home game in the playoffs.
Under-the-Radar: Santa Fe (4-4) at Espanola Valley (4-0). Cross classification games don't carry a lot of hype but a northern battle is always one to fill the seats. Santa Fe is playing well, Espanola Valley could be having a title type of season though.
Ticket Sales Game: Piedra Vista (4-2) at Shipock (6-3). Just like the game listed above we have another regional rivalry game that should provide a packed gym.
County Game: Hobbs (4-4) vs Lovington (4-5). We continue with the regional battles as the two school have a mini type of rivalry game. Though it could be one-sided the Lovington Wildcats will always look to upset bigger brother.
Rivalry Is Back: Grants (4-4) at Bernalillo (5-0). We talked about this game in our week 6 storylines. However, most AD's must have had a theme to play December rivalry games this week. This one could be one of the closer contests.
