Have made a change at head coach. Former West Las Vegas and New Mexico Highlands star DJ Bustos takes over as head coach. Waiting for school confirmation.

5A Road to the PIT: Bracket Watch

#1 Volcano Vista (15-1 overall; Auto) vs #16 Carlsbad (7-7 overall; At-Large)
Scoop: Volcano Vista secures the automatic bid as the District Champ from 1-5A, while Carlsbad needs to outperform Hobbs and Roswell without ties to secure the runner-up spot in 4-5A.

#2 Organ Mountain (12-1 overall; Auto) vs #15 Alamogordo (10-5 overall; At-Large)
Scoop: Organ Mountain, projected as the District Champ from 3-5A, could finish district play undefeated, with their sole loss to Volcano Vista. Alamogordo, cooling off from an early top-ten rank, aims for a playoff spot as a projected third-place finisher in 3-5A.

#3 Cleveland (12-3 overall; At-Large) vs #14 Las Cruces (6-6 overall; At-Large)
Scoop: Cleveland, the first at-large team, is projected as the district runner-up from 1-5A behind Volcano Vista. Las Cruces, coming off a surprising loss to Hobbs, is our projected 3-5A runner-up, impacting their playoff position.

#4 La Cueva (8-4 overall; Auto) vs #13 Eldorado (9-5 overall; At-Large)
Scoop: La Cueva faces the tough competition in 2-5A, but we project them as the District Champ; and winning the DC with this talent would be a shocker. Eldorado, possibly falling to a fifth-place finish in 2-5A, still holds a 13-seed despite a notable loss to Cibola in week 8.

#5 Los Lunas (9-5 overall; Auto) vs #12 Farmington (15-1 overall; At-Large)
Scoop: Los Lunas battles for the auto bid from 5-5A, facing competition from Santa Fe High. Farmington, our fourth-place finisher in 2-5A, awaits its playoff seeding.

#6 Sandia (9-5 overall; At-Large) vs #11 Rio Rancho (8-7 overall; At-Large)
Scoop: Sandia, in excellent form with wins over strong opponents -- Los Lunas and Atrisco Heritage, along with a criteria win over Albuquerque Academy, is projected as the runner-up from 2-5A. Rio Rancho is currently a mystery, and their performance may determine their seeding in the 13-16 range.

#7 Clovis (12-5 overall; Auto) vs #10 West Mesa (8-6 overall; At-Large)
Scoop: Clovis, having a solid season, is quietly projected as the District Champ and auto from 4-5A. West Mesa, with notable talent, is our third-place finisher in 2-5A and a team to watch for an uptick in performance come February.

#8 Atrisco Heritage (11-4 overall; At-Large) vs #9 Santa Fe (12-3 overall; At-Large)
Scoop: Atrisco Heritage, initially at No. 6, drops to No. 8 after a recent loss to Sandia but still earns a home game. They are our third-place finisher from 1-5A. Santa Fe High, with a slight cooldown, is projected as the runner-up in 5-5A, potentially contending with Los Lunas and could split with them.

Bubble: Capital (8-5 overall; 3rd Place from 5-5A), Hobbs (5-11 overall; 3rd Place Finish from 4-5A), Albuquerque (9-5 overall; 4th Place from 5-5A)

Per request, I'll start adding a daily schedule.

Week 8 Road to the PIT: Bracket Watch

NMPreps' Road to the PIT marks the countdown to the 2024 New Mexico high school basketball state tournament. This bracket watch examines locks, automatic bids, at-large bids, and projected district standings.

#1 Volcano Vista (Auto) vs #16 Carlsbad (At-Large)
Scoop: Volcano Vista showcased dominance in Week 7, securing the APS Metro Championships. They secure an auto bid as the projected district champ (DC) from 1-5A. Carlsbad is expected to finish third in district 4-5A.

#2 Hobbs (Auto) vs #15 Cleveland (At-Large)
Scoop: Despite a loss to La Cueva, Hobbs remains a force. They face another challenge against Farmington but may clinch a 2-seed based on other criteria points. Cleveland is projected as a third-place finisher in District 1-5A.

#3 La Cueva (Auto) vs #14 Los Lunas (At-Large)
Scoop: La Cueva contends with Sandia and Farmington for the District 2-5A title. Potential tie-breaker scenarios favor La Cueva today. Los Lunas is projected as the runner-up from 5-5A, trailing Albuquerque.

#4 Sandia (At-Large) vs #13 Las Cruces (At-Large)
Scoop: Sandia's potential 1-seed ceiling and a range of 2-6 will be shaped by various criteria points. Las Cruces is forecasted to finish fourth in 3-5A.

#5 Farmington (At-Large) vs #12 Centennial (At-Large)
Scoop: Farmington, the projected third-place finisher from 2-5A, possesses multiple criteria points for a top-5 or 6 seed. Centennial edged Las Cruces as the third-place finisher in 3-5A.

#6 Mayfield (Auto) vs #11 Albuquerque (Auto)
Scoop: Mayfield quietly clinches the DC from 3-5A and eyes a top-four seed, dependent on District 2-5A battles between La Cueva, Sandia, and Farmington. Albuquerque secures the automatic bid from District 5-5A.

#7 Clovis (At-Large) vs #10 Organ Mountain (At-Large)
Scoop: Clovis, under the radar, maintains a solid season and is projected as the runner-up from District 4-5A, behind Hobbs but ahead of Carlsbad and Roswell. Organ Mountain trails Mayfield in 3-5A and is the district's runner-up.

#8 Rio Rancho (At-Large) vs #9 Eldorado (At-Large)
Scoop: A potential highlight of the first round, Rio Rancho edges Eldorado today as a 1-5A runner-up behind Volcano Vista. Eldorado secures the at-large bid as the fourth team from 2-5A.

Next: Hope Christian (4-6), Los Alamos (6-5), West Las Vegas (8-4)

As the season progresses, these rankings are bound to witness further shifts and exciting developments on the court, reflecting the dynamic nature of high school girls' basketball in New Mexico.

NMPreps Road to the PIT: 2A Bracket Watch

NMPreps' Road to the PIT marks the countdown to the 2024 New Mexico high school basketball state tournament. This bracket watch examines locks, automatic bids, at-large bids, and projected district standings.

#1 Academy for Technology and the Classics (Auto) vs #16 McCurdy (At-Large)
Scoop: ATC is our lock as the District 2-2A champion. The final criteria points battle with Tularosa is a close one. McCurdy's presence as the 16-seed may be surprising, but they could be a formidable opponent. They are our projected 5-2A fourth-place finisher.

#2 Tularosa (Auto) vs #15 Clayton (At-Large)
Scoop: Tularosa could very well secure the 1-seed in the bracket, currently standing at 11-1 in Week 8. They would be the DC from 3-2A. Clayton faces a tough challenge in the competitive 6-2A and is our projected fourth-place finisher in this four-team district.

#3 Rehoboth Christian (Auto) vs #14 Jal (At-Large)
Scoop: This might be a bit unexpected, but Rehoboth would claim the 1-2A championship and garner quality criteria points, especially with other, more challenging districts facing internal battles. Jal would make the trip north as a projected 4-2A third-place finisher.

#4 Eunice (Auto) vs #13 Navajo Pine (At-Large)
Scoop: Currently, our projected 4-2A champion Eunice could secure a top-four seed, benefitting from other districts' battles. Navajo Pine is a projected 1-2A runner-up.

#5 Texico (Auto) vs #12 Mora (At-Large)
Scoop: Today, we give Texico a slight edge as the 6-2A champion, but this district boasts two other teams in the top-8, potentially making a run at a state championship. Mora is our projected 5-2A third-place finisher.

#6 Mesa Vista (Auto) vs #11 Menaul (At-Large)
Scoop: The Trojans are on the rise, having defeated Pecos on January 16, 2023, and securing a top-8 seed. They are our projected 5-2A champions. Despite recent setbacks, Menaul is still favored to be the 2-2A runner-up.

#7 Santa Rosa (At-Large) vs #10 Loving (At-Large)
Scoop: Our first at-large team, the Santa Rosa Lions, could pose a threat to Tularosa in the second round. They are our projected runner-up from 6-2A behind Texico. Loving is our projected 4-2A runner-up and could surprisingly secure the 8-seed by winning key games.

#8 Pecos (At-Large) vs #9 Escalante (At-Large)
Scoop: Pecos is our projected third-place finisher from 6-2A, likely having enough on their resume to secure a top-8 spot or, at worst, a 9/10 seed. It could be a challenging matchup for potential 1-seed ATC. Escalante is the projected 5-2A runner-up and could even claim the 8-seed in this matchup.

Aiden Armenta - La Cueva (UNM) to University of Louisiana Monroe

Tre Watson - Cleveland (Fresno State) to Texas A&M

Toughest Basketball district regardless of classification?

Word just now is that it’s open.

Will they lose a game to a team in New Mexico?

Thought I'd help out Grine since I'm not coaching a spring sport and I have nothing else to do. I'm sure someone will point out my math like they did with the coaching victories a few weeks ago, oh well....

Should 7-on-7 and full football workouts be something more in New Mexico for high school teams? Is it allowed?
