Schedule for Tuesday - 5A
Alamogordo (4-1) at Gadsden (1-3), 7pm
Capital (2-2) at Manzano (1-3), 7pm
Carlsbad (3-1) at Clovis (4-1), 7pm
Centennial (1-3) at Las Cruces (4-0), 7pm
Los Lunas (3-0) at Albuquerque (2-2), 7pm
Mayfield (3-1) at Onate (1-3), 7pm
Piedra Vista (0-5) at Farmington (2-3), 7pm
Roswell (5-1) at Hobbs (4-0), 7pm
Game of the Night: Roswell (No. 13 NMPreps Top-20) at Hobbs (No. 7) should create some buzz down south. Hobbs is quietly sitting at 4-0 and looking for some more love in the polls. This would be the quality win to catch the eye. Roswell battled with top-ranked Cleveland over the weekend and looking to rebound here against another top-10 ranked team.
Bid Type of Game: Carlsbad and Clovis both unranked this week will do some battle with hopes of getting back into the playoff conversation. Carlsbad at 3-1 is off to a solid start under longtime girls basketball coach John Zumbrun. Clovis like Carlsbad has one loss, both lost to Artesia, but Clovis could have a criteria win over Espanola that would put them in the 'need' to win tonight.
Scoop: Outside of the two games mentioned the rest will roll in the favor of the favorite. Alamogordo, Capital Las Cruces, Los Lunas, Mayfield, and Farmington win. There shouldn't be any close calls here and a quiet night.
Schedule for Tuesday - 4A
Albuquerque Academy (0-3) at Bernalillo (4-1), 7pm
Artesia (3-3) at Lovington (1-2), 7pm
Aztec (0-3) at Bloomfield (2-1), 7pm
Goddard (1-5) at Portales (1-2), 7pm
Grants (1-4) at Valencia (1-4), 6pm
Kirtland Central (3-0) at Shiprock (1-2), 7pm
Los Alamos (3-1) at St. Michael's (3-1), 7pm
Miyamura (1-2) at Gallup (1-1), 7pm
St. Pius X (2-1) at Highland (1-2), 7pm
Valley (1-1) at Del Norte (2-1), 7pm
Championship Feelings: St. Pius X won both games last week moving to 2-0 in district play and will now take on Highland, the preseason favorite to win this district. They beat up on new district opponent Belen last week. The winner takes a seat in the driver's seat during the first go-round.
4A Player of the Year Conversation: Valley has Derick Chavez (2021) and Del Norte features Shane Douma-Sanchez (2023) in what is a showdown between two of the top players in the state. Also, this league had issues with bids last season and with the field cut in half, this season finishing first or second is a must.

Keep an Eye: Los Alamos-4A taking on St. Michael's-3A is the cross-classification game to watch tonight. Los Alamos was hot after two weeks but cooled some with the recent loss and they are looking to rebound quickly in a short season. St. Michael's has a talented class coming through and this could be a season the return to the final game. They are currently ranked 4th in 3A.
