5A Basketball

Volcano Vista (6-0) at Cleveland (6-1): The Storm (No. 17 NMPreps Top 20) are off to their best start under head coach Susan Kubala. The big task at hand tonight is playing 5A power Volcano Vista (No. 2) tonight with their roster full of Top-50 prospects.

The rest of the night is quiet in 5A hoops; Las Cruces (3-2) and Mayfield (3-2) could be the next best game in the class. Onate (4-1) should roll against Deming (1-4), Los Lunas (5-1) will rock Manzano (0-3) and Centennial (5-0) moves along against Gadsden (0-5). Capital (2-4) vs Rio Grande (0-4), Cibola (2-3) vs Atrisco Heritage (0-5), and Albuquerque (3-1) vs Santa Fe (1-2) round out the evening in 5A hoops.

4A Basketball

Espanola Valley (5-1) at Moriarty (4-0): The 18th ranked Espanola Valley Sundevils hit the road to take on the undefeated Moriarty Pintos. This will be the biggest test for the Pintos this season. Their pre-district schedule featured local small division schools (East Mountain, Santa Rosa, and Estancia); they did look good in their district opener against Pojoaque (56-20). Espanola has been rolling as of late winning by 20 or more in their last three games.

Miyamura (2-2) at Kirtland Central (2-1): Not much of a highlight game as Kirtland Central has owned this series recently but Miyamura is playing well this season. If Miyamura wants to make the state tournament stealing a game against Kirtland Central is the formula.

Bernalillo (6-0) vs Valley (2-2), Hope Christian (4-1) at Del Norte (1-2), and St. Pius X (3-1) at Belen (3-3) all could be decent games. An upset? Likely not.

Shiprock (2-2) vs Aztec (0-4), Taos (2-3) vs Los Alamos (0-5) and Gallup (4-0) vs Bloomfield (1-3) should all win with ease. Highland (3-1) hosting Grants (0-6) is in big favor of the Hornets.
