10. West Mesa

DISTRICT PREDICTION
1-6A
1. Cibola
2. Volcano Vista
3. Rio Rancho
4. Santa Fe
5. Cleveland
Cibola and Volcano have a tie breaker game. Rio Rancho also stills a game at home over former rival Cibola.
2-6A
1. Eldorado
2. La Cueva
3. Sandia
4. Highland
5. Manzano
Sandia was young and did scare La Cueva but suffered a loss to fall to third. Eldorado the best viable team to take DC.
3-6A
1. Mayfield
2. Las Cruces
3. Deming
4. Gadsden
5. Onate
For some reason I like Deming to be a threat but Mayfield and Las Cruces split, tie breaker and head to state tournament as favorites.
4-6A
1. Hobbs
2. Carlsbad
3. Clovis
4. Alamogordo
Hobbs to lose. Clovis might fall some and Alamo's chance to jump up in their new district.
5-6A
1. Valley
2. West Mesa
3. Albuquerque High
4. Atrisco Heritage
5. Rio Grande
Valley and West Mesa battle for title but Valley's success proved to help win DC. Atrisco has the opportunity to be better. AHS lost top player could hurt.
STATE TOURNAMENT PREDICTION
Different from rankings as it's prediction that teams lose some key games and or district finish prediction and key losses late or upsets.
