Grine: Streaking Into the Post Season
Joshua J Grine of NMPreps.com
Heading into the post season the team at NMPreps.com will bring you non-stop coverage and features into March.
Today, we take a look at the teams who haven't lost in over 10-games. Some teams have yet to lose in the 2016 along with every class being represented minus 3A (Lordsburg close at 9).
Onate of 6A basketball does play in a weak district but within this streak that leads back to December 30th, a loss to Del Valle (Texas), has a pair of Top-10 6A wins in Albuquerque (Jan. 15th) and Carlsbad (January 9th). The Knights will likely see their streak improve to 15 with a District Tournament Championship and into March.
Looking into 5A we have a pair of programs that are on a win-streak with the Grants Pirates winning 11 in a row and the Centennial Hawks at 10. The Pirates have wins against Capital and Espanola Valley during their current streak. The Centennial Hawks play in one of the better 5A Districts and a big win over Los Lunas has them as Co-District Champions.
If I did a ranking (you know we love ranking everything) I might go with the 2A Melrose Buffaloes and a 10-game win streak with wins over Santa Rosa, Mora and Springer. The Buffaloes are the likely favorite to win the entire thing in 2A has one of the most underrated players in 6-foot-3 sophomore guard Cade Barnard.
