The Christmas break comes to an end early. Today, a handful of tournaments will tip off across New Mexico. If you are looking for a bracket, go to the thread labeled "What to Watch in Week 6".
Phoenix-Central AZ vs Los Lunas
Phoenix-Central out of Arizona will take on Los Lunas down in Las Cruces at the LCPS Hoopla tournament. Phoenix-Central AZ makes a return to New Mexico after years of attending the Rio Rancho tournament. Los Lunas has picked up steam in the 5A rankings and has an opportunity to make a statement this week. Two players that I absolutely enjoyed watching were Ezra Guest (2023) and Geleio Griego (2023). The compliment D-1 prospect Jalin Holland (2025) very well in this system. Griego has been the early riser on our players to watch.
Navajo Prep vs Goddard
Perhaps the Goddard Rockets initially saw the Navajo Prep Eagles as an "easy" first-round game for the Poe Corn Tournament in Roswell. What we have is an opportunity for the Eagles to continue their hot start with a win over a 4A opponent. Goddard plays host to the top half of the tournament, with Roswell hosting the bottom half, and is in dire need of a win. This would be a resume win if Navajo Prep eventually wins their district.
St. Michael's vs Pecos
A solid battle between a top 2A team (Pecos) and a top 3A team (St. Mikes). This game is part of the 2022 Stu Clark tournament taking place in Las Vegas on the campus of New Mexico Highlands University (John A. Wilson Complex). The top half of the bracket features some of the best teams with Robertson and Portales also taking place.
