Grine's State Champ Picks
5A: Hobbs: Joey Carpenter is the top three top head coaches in New Mexico (boys or girls), he has a few players that will be All-New Mexico, maybe Miss New Mexico. Hobbs goes undefeated but Volcano Vista and Los Lunas will be in the Final Four.
4A: Highland: Highland took the Los Lunas Tigers to the wire last season in the Final Four while Gallup and KC disappeared against LL.
3A: Navajo Prep: Rainy Crisp is one of the top coaches I've seen on the ladies' side. I was left amazed by the adjustments, player development, and overall humble person. Tohatchi is scratching at the door again though and the Cougars might just get it.
