Notes & More

Out: N/A
New: N/A
Next: Farmington (11-4), Santa Fe (8-7)

Scoop: The biggest drop that you see this week is Sandia slipping down three spots after a pair of losses to La Cueva. La Cueva also jumping into the top-four after a solid week winning the APS Metro Championships.

What we know at this point: Any of the top-ten could win the state championship. Yes, the top three/four are solid and right now have the most odds of making the Final Four. However, I don't believe we would be a complete shock if any of the top ten make the Final Four.

Coach: We do have to point out that Deming head coach Kimberly Garcia has done a tremendous job in year one. She took over a 16-12 team and now has them 13-2, 1-0 district and ranked in our Power-12. Early newcomer coach of the year award winner.
