Today, we take a look at our NMPreps.com Preseason 6A Team Rankings. Throughout the 2015-2016 we will update our rankings as the season moves forward.
Week Zero/Week One Top-10 Rankings
1. Hope Christian
2. Portales
3. Shiprock
4. Ruidoso
5. Kirtland Central
6. West Las Vegas
7. Santa Fe Indian
8. Sandia Prep
9. St. Michael's
10. Bloomfield
2015-2016 Preview
The Hope Christian Huskies were young last season and the defending champs return their top three scoring options in Alivia Lewis (2017/F), Hanna Valencia (2017/G) and Brielle Milford (2017/W) in what could be the start of a three peat for the Lady Huskies. This team is deep and will be deep for years to come with the young talent moving up.
Portales brings back one of the best players in the state in Kambrey Blakey a senior who will look to put the Lady Rams back into the number one slot after failing to defend their 2014 title. The Lady Rams are another team, like most in the Top-5, to be very deep and talent throughout the roster. This team is coached extremely well.
Shiprock, Ruidoso and Kirtland Central round out the top-5 in what will be an interesting mix of 4A women's teams. Shiprock has a trio in Tanisha Begay (2017/G), Paige Dale (2017/G) and Shontai Grey (2016/F). Ruidoso welcomes back likely one of the best post players in the state in Lia Mosher (2017/F) a 11 ppg. and 9 rbg. player. Kirtland Central only graduates three players from a 17-11 team last season.
