BIG THREE
Cleveland (9-0) at Hobbs (9-5): The NMPreps.com number one ranked team - Cleveland Storm will look to take home a tournament championship against the host team Hobbs in the 61st Holiday Classic. Both teams are long, athletic and push the ball. Tre Watson (Cleveland) is one to watch, a wing that plays above the rim.
Las Cruces (9-1) at Onate (12-0): Onate, ranked second in the NMPreps poll, will host their crosstown district opponent Las Cruces in the Hoopla Championship. This will be the first of many battles between the two area schools.
Rio Rancho (4-4) vs Highland (6-1): The two schools take the court again after facing each other recently on the same court. Highland took the first game, and is coming off a huge win over Santa Fe in double overtime. The Rams will look to protect their home court as the host to their tournament.
More to keep an eye on
Cleveland (7-3) and Albuquerque (3-4) will square off in Clovis for that tournament. Both teams have the potential to play a couple rounds in March.
Artesia (3-5) and Shiprock (3-6) will square off in Hobbs. Don't be shocked to see both teams play late into the season. It was my first view of Shiprock and I liked this team. Artesia is long and ranked high but this could either be a good classification test or trap game for seventh.
