5A BASKETBALL

The Perfect Group That I Like - Buy
Onate (9-0), Cleveland (5-0), Volcano Vista (4-0): There is six team undefeated in the 5A classification of New Mexico basketball. Which would you take as a true title contender? These are my three favorite but Cleveland and Volcano Vista are slightly ahead of Onate. However, I will say Onate could be the team that stays perfect the longest and has a team that could win it all. Ricky Lujan is good, he is the the type of player you can't stop but hope to contain.

More to Prove - Sell
Eldorado (6-0), Carlsbad (6-0): The Eagles of Eldorado have a real deal prospect in Deraje Agbaosi but will that be enough to make them more than an elite eight type of team? If I had to answer this, and I do, then I would say no. Elite Eight is the ceiling. Carlsbad is in the same conversation., they have a player in Josh Silas, who I really like, and he might be an all-state player but won't be enough to get to the Final Four. Selling both on getting passed

The Consistency with One - Buy
Las Cruces (6-1): Now dressing the part, head coach William Benjamin continues to be one of the top head coaches in New Mexico. Yep, I just said that and I totally agree with it. I followed the 2013 championship team closely and that was the lone season where ever bracket was predicted correctly - Las Cruces was a 6-seed and won it all but I had ever upset picked correct. Back to topic, Benjamin in the last three seasons - 28 wins, 29 wins, and 27 wins. He has won 215 games since taking over in 2010 with one losing season, which was 2010 after taking over from Mike Smith. So I'm buying the Dawgs in the Final Four this season.
