Here’s a quick recap of the district standings and district races in CLASS 4A.
DISTRICT 1-4A
Kirtland Central hasn’t clinched the district title yet, but they do have the two game advantage and sweep of Gallup. Other than Gallup, everyone else is eliminated from a share of first place. That being said, second place isn’t completely a sealed deal either with Shiprock having a chance at second place. Granted everyone will need help to get there and that includes Gallup losing, but it’s not impossible.
At the moment thought he real fight is for third place. Miyamura got the sweep of Aztec but the loss to Shiprock hurt them. Aztec is tied for third and could hurdle Miyamura which by the projections could effectively eliminate Miyamura from the tournament all together if Aztec does finish ahead of the Lady Patriots. Bloomfield not eliminated from 3rd place race but it’s looking highly unlikely.

DISTRICT 2-4A
Well this district definitely didn’t go nearly as planned. A pre-district predicted finish of fourth place, Los Alamos burned that notion and went on a tear winning big games at Pojoaque and Espanola Valley (though technically it was NNMC). Now with a one game lead, two home games against the leaders (and a trip to Taos) Los Alamos has it relatively easy heading into the final stretch.
Pojoaque Valley is probably tired of overtime games. They’re still in the running though only sitting one game behind the leader and needing to win out to claim a share of the district title.
Espanola Valley mathematically has a shot but needing Los Alamos to lose three straight that includes a road game to Taos, EV is likely out of the running for first place. Their chances at a runner-up finish aren’t completely gone either, but it’s out of their control after losing both games to Pojoaque.
Moriarty and Taos are out of the running for first and Taos out of the second place finish. Moriarty though is only one game back of Espanola Valley with three games to go.
Current Standings (8 games total)
Los Alamos – 5-0 district; 11-12 overall

DISTRICT 3-4A
I can’t give a fair assessment here because I think we’re all fairly certain Silver will win district outright given the season Ruidoso, Santa Teresa, and Chaparral are having. But that doesn’t mean their race for a district runner-up finish won’t be exciting. Nearly all their games were below 50 points combined and it’s that kind of competitiveness that’ll keep them looking for that second place finish to Silver.
Current Standings (6 games total)

DISTRICT 4-4A
This district wants to do what it did last year with a three-way tie again. A a fellow NMPreps.com member pointed out, it may likely come down to who wins a road game first. They all have wins against the other and one game against Lovington. It’s tough to tell because nearly all their games against the other have not been close at all. And that’s something I hope changes this second half of district play.

DISTRICT 5-4A
This district got a little interesting after last week’s upset of Grants over St. Pius and Belen’s loss to Valencia. Both Belen and Valencia are eliminated from first place. Grants is only a half game back of SPX. But Grants is also not out of being overtaken by Valencia or Belen for third place with both Belen and Valencia being left on the schedule and only needing 2.5 games with 3 games left to jump back ahead of Grants for third place.

DISTRICT 6-4A
Mathematically, Highland hasn’t clinched first place yet, though they can with a win over Valley on Friday night and eliminate everyone else from first place. There’s a three way tie for second place at the moment, but Hope is done playing Highland and has the “easier” back end of their schedule to play. Bernalillo will need Valley to split with Hope to have a chance at keeping a share of first place. Del Norte hasn’t been eliminated yet from making a run at second place though it’s a steep hill for them to climb from. Academy has been eliminated from advancing higher than fifth place.
