- Las Cruces (4-3) at Centennial (6-1). Saturday. The unofficial District Championship today between the Bulldawgs and Hawks. The winner likely to lock up a top-four seed, and bye, for the 2021 playoffs.
- Cleveland (7-0) at Volcano Vista (5-2). Thursday. Are the Volcano Vista Hawks the next up for a long night or can they challenge the Cleveland Storm?
- Eldorado (5-3) at Sandia (3-4). Thursday. Eldorado and Sandia both fighting for a playoff spot along with possibly earning a first-round home game. Eldorado is 3-1 while Sandia is 2-1 in district play.
- West Mesa (2-4) at Cibola (3-4). Friday. Cibola opened district play against Rio and Cleveland and now get a good bounce back game against West Mesa. Or will the Mustangs play the upset role this week?
- Hobbs (3-4) at Organ Mountain (3-3). Saturday. Hobbs lost on a controversial call to end the game last week against Las Cruces. They'll look to rebound against a 3-win Organ Mountain Knights team who is coming off another win and still fighting for a playoff spot.
- Santa Fe (5-3) at La Cueva (6-1). Saturday. The Demons of Santa Fe could have had their bubble popped last week with a loss to Clovis. La Cueva looking to lock up a DC and third slot ranking (maybe seed).
- Clovis (2-4) at Manzano (1-5). Friday. Clovis needed a win last week and earned one. This week they'll take on district cellar Manzano.
- Albuquerque (2-5) at Rio Grande (0-7). Saturday. Bulldog City should roll big and easy against a struggling Ravens team.
- Atrisco Heritage (3-4) at Rio Rancho (5-0). Friday. Likely done by halftime.
- Artesia (5-2) at Roswell (2-5): Three weeks left in the 2021 regular season and the start of who will earn a bid to the state playoffs - or earn a top-four seed. Artesia had the week off in week 8, while Roswell looks to shake off a loss to Dumas, Texas.
- Deming (4-3) at Santa Teresa (6-1): Here we have a big time playoff implications game. The winner of this contest will likely earn a first round home game and possibly still in the conversation for the DC if the winner can beat Mayfield.
- Capital (3-4) at Miyamura (3-5): After the loss last week to PV, Capital is riding on the fringe of the playoffs. Miyamura is sitting on the outside but a win could bring them back into the conversation for that empty 11/12 seats.
- Goddard (4-2) at Alamogordo (2-5): Goddard took a loss to Mayfield (20-13) last week and needing a win. Alamogordo is fighting for the postseason and hoping to catch an injured Goddard squad currently on a two game skid.
- Los Alamos (3-4) at Piedra Vista (5-3): Los Alamos showed some promise early on but has lost 4 of the last five games after a 2-0 start. Piedra Vista enters the game winning the last two by at least 20-points.
- Highland (1-7) at Del Norte (1-6): Both teams have seen better days as they battled injuries and roster limitations. A good final win for either team as they head into the offseason in a few weeks.
- Los Lunas (7-0) at Valley (2-5): A four point spread in favor of the second ranked Tigers of Los Lunas.
