Who Are The Top 2 Favorites in Each Class?

Hey everyone..I have a question on eligibility..I have a student who had 2 Fs last semester..she was very sick and missed a lot of school, I tired to get her to participate in an organization for this spring semester based off of her cumulative grades which are a 3.1. My AD said she cant participate because of the two Fs last semester. just checking to see if this is true or not. any help is appreciated.

Best team that you have seen this season?

6A: Uno! Fighting For Number One

Each season we try to take a look at the number one seed in the state tournament.

Why? A majority of the time they end up winning the state tournament. For the most part at least. So today we take a look at the resumes for the contenders for the 1-seed.

6A

Cleveland Storm
Record: 16-4 Overall; 2-0 District
NMPreps.com Top-25 Rank: #1
NMPreps.com 6A Rankings: #1
Key Wins: Onate, Valley, Cibola
Potential DC Wins: (5) Onate, Valley, Grants, KC (currently 2-0), La Cueva (2-0)

Onate Knights
Record: 18-3 Overall; 3-0 District (Could be 17-4 if forfeit is enforced)
NMPreps.com Top-25 Rank: #2
NMPreps.com 6A Rankings: #2
Key Wins: Valley, Carlsbad,
Potential DC Wins: (5) Valley, Hope Christian, Carlsbad (x2), Los Lunas

Cibola Cougars
Record: 15-2 Overall; 2-0 District
NMPreps.com Top-25 Rank: #3
NMPreps.com 6A Rankings: #3
Key Wins: None over Top 5
Potential DC Wins: (2) Hope Christian, Sandia (2-0 in District)

Valley Vikings
Record: 13-5 Overall; 2-0 District
NMPreps.com Top-25 Rank: #6
NMPreps.com 6A Rankings: #4
Key Wins: (4) Cibola, Onate, Cleveland, Rio Grande
Potential DC Wins: (3) Cleveland/Cibola, Rio Grande, Onate

Rio Grande Ravens
Record: 13-4 Overall; 1-0 District
NMPreps.com Top-25 Rank: #8
NMPreps.com 6A Rankings: #5
Key Wins: None over Top 5
Potential DC Wins: (2.5) La Cueva (x2)/Sandia, Capital

How We Rank: Top Four Seeds

1. Cleveland: head to head over Top-5 is better with 3. Record similar to Onate. H-2-H over Onate. I am counting NMPreps.com Ranking as an input form. Freeman Ranking went to Onate. DC potential wins is a tie. So settled with H-2-H going to Cleveland.

2. Onate: Lost head to head to Cleveland. Both 5 potential DC wins and record could have them both with 4 losses. Freeman and input form could be tie. So H-2-H went to the Storm.

3. Valley: Have 4 Top-5 wins for H-2-H and 3 potential DC wins. Also, the have the potential to be a DC and Cibola might finish second. If Cibola wins 1-6A things could get crazy.

4. Cibola: Cibola has the rank and record vote. Rio Grande did have potential DC win for the most part. Valley the nod over Cibola as a potential DC, and DC wins. Valley also has H-2-H over Cibola.

For the Fun of It

Fifth Seed: Rio Grande or Carlsbad: Rio Grande and here is why; Record is better, If La Cueva wins 2-6A another nod to Rio Grande, NMPreps pretending to be input form so Rio again. Carlsbad gets the Freeman. Carlsbad could get the notch as a potential DC. That leaves it at 3-2.

For Sixth Seed: Carlsbad (If they win District)

5A

Grants Pirates
Record: 15-3 Overall; 0-0 District
NMPreps.com Top-25 Rank: #5
NMPreps.com 5A Rankings: #1
Key Wins (vs Top 5 in 5A): Gallup, Espanola Valley, Capital
Potential DC Wins: (4) Cliff, Gallup, West Las Vegas, Capital

Roswell Coyotes
Record: 15-2 Overall; 0-0 District
NMPreps.com Top-25 Rank: #7
NMPreps.com 5A Rankings: #2
Key Wins (vs Top 5 in 5A): Centennial (x2)
Potential DC Wins: Carlsbad, Portales

Centennial Hawks
Record: 13-5 Overall; 2-1 District
NMPreps.com Top-25 Rank: #10
NMPreps.com 5A Rankings: #3
Key Wins (vs Top 5 in 5A): Roswell
Potential DC Wins: Roswell, Albuquerque High,

Capital Jaguars
Record: 18-3 Overall; 2-1 District
NMPreps.com Top-25 Rank: #11
NMPreps.com 5A Rankings: #4
Key Wins (vs Top 5 in 5A): None
Potential DC Wins: Los Lunas, La Cueva

Gallup Bengals
Record: 16-4 Overall; 2-0 District
NMPreps.com Top-25 Rank: #15
NMPreps.com 5A Rankings: #5
Key Wins (vs Top 5 in 5A): Grants
Potential DC Wins: Pojoaque Valley, Kirtland Central, Grants

Seeds
1. Grants vs Roswell: Grants. NMPreps.com ranking, DC wins, Freeman Rankings. Records are similar. No head to head. Both will be DC.
2. Roswell: Record over the rest of the Top-5. DC wins is 2, have H-2-H over Centennial. Also, will be a DC.
3. Gallup: Will be a DC, Only 4 losses, 3 potential DC wins, Freeman ranking of 4, NMPrep of 5.
4. Capital: Right now not a DC leader, 2 DC wins, Record and Rank better, No H-2-H. So final would likely come down to, if Capital wins the DC then back to 3.
5. Centennial: Right now not a DC and that will drop them in the Top-4 spots, Do have a H-2-H over Roswell.

For Fun
6. Espanola Valley: Might be over Centennial if they win DC.
7. Los Lunas: Out of place in rankings but could be a DC and move up further. Might cloud things from 3-7.

Estancia Defensive End Commits

Hearing for the second time that Estancia DE Caleb Ortiz has committed to Eastern New Mexico. 6-foot-4, 220 pound Defensive End, Tight End, Fullback, whatever you need him to be. I think he could of even contributed for the Lobos or for the Aggies down the road. Eastern landed someone with a ton of upside!

Which Program Is Underachieving?

Read an article on Twitter about 2 high profile QB's from Texas from 6A. One threw for over 6000 yards in career and the other for over 5000. Both have high octane cannons for an arm. They have no offers. The reasons is one is 6' and the other 6'1" Both said they were told they are too short to make it in D-1
