*****WEEK 5 SCOREBOARD*****

Who are some nominations

Gallup vs Rio Rancho - City of Champions in Artesia

Espanola vs Mesilla - Sundevil Invite

Las Cruces vs Sandia - Joe Armijo

Farmington vs Kirtland Central - Marv Sanders

Belen vs Manzano - Hub City

Game of the Night: Cleveland vs Los Lunas. The Cleveland round robin puts both undefeated teams against each other. A possible game between 6A best vs 5A best.

Under the Radar Contest: Onate vs Goddard. The consolation title game of the City of Champions tournament.

Chance for a playoff spot: Volcano Vista vs Eldorado. When we examine resumes this one will be talked about. Good game with underclassmen that we will see for a couple years.

A win can only help: Lovington Carlsbad. Both teams looking to avoid a 0-3 weekend.

Pair of Intriguing Cross Classification Games: the Bobby Rodriguez round robin has Roswell vs Santa Fe and Capital vs Hobbs. Both are worth the cost of entry.

Every prediction will come true, of course.

Valencia knocks off West Mesa 57-52. Huge win for Jake Herrin and the Jags!

Heck yeah go Jags!!! Better than Belen at this point? Based on common opponents, I’d say yes!

What do you have?

The best all-around player in NM heads the list.

I’ll post the bracket shortly

Andrew Erickson - He told me after last Saturday's championship game that even though he has been offered by ENMU and Adams State, he will wait to see if one of the major in-state programs offer.

Jordan Byrd - Told me that he enjoyed his visit to Arizona a few weeks ago (during Manzano's playoff bye week) but he is still solidly committed to San Diego State. However, I expect Arizona to keep up the recruiting efforts in order to try to flip him. Byrd said he is leaning towards signing with SDSU during the new early signing period.

Manzano's rout of RR tops the list.
