1. 5A is going to be battle...and really fun to watch during the playoffs: Los Lunas (17-14 over Goddard) and Roswell (29-21 over Mayfield) answered some big calls on Friday night. The Tigers beating title favorite Goddard at home in a close battle is a resume win for one of the top two seeds in the bracket. Roswell, we felt that they were turning a corner, turned a big one as Lynn doing what he does best - win. Watch out for that district too.
2. We will have a new top team in 4A rankings: The Valencia Jaguars, ranked 12th (NMPreps poll) upset No. 1 Bloomfield, 34-21. The Jaguars with perhaps the biggest win over the night not only secured a playoff spot are making others take a second look as possible DC's. Maybe, that is a little too far or is it? Taos over Bernalillo, 14-7 and Santa Fe Indian 24-14 over Espanola Valley are nice wins too.
3. La Cueva the favorite in District 2 (6A): The Bears with a win over Clovis, 55-13. The Bears and Eldorado are on a course for a DC championship/rivalry game. This one should have a packed crowd. Is Clovis on the verge of being an OUT team in the playoff watch?
