District Championship - Round 1: We mentioned this game in our weekend wire but Las Cruces (No. 1 NMPreps Top 20) taking on the contender in Alamogordo (No. 3) is a must-see game. This could potentially be a Final Four or State Championship preview as well. Yep, that's my bold take - unless either team loses players. The first sip of coffee is down.
Little Brother Looking for an Upset: Sandia Prep is the top-ranked 3A team and likely a should-be Top-20 ranked team will host Rio Rancho (No. 8) today. Can the 3A school 'upset' the bigger 5A program? This one has the potential to go in the favor of the Sundevils but Rio Rancho has the depth but coming off a 34-point loss on Thursday could have them stumbling into the game?
Potential State Game: Cleveland (No 2) is taking on Roswell (No. 17) and yes we mentioned this game already on our weekend wire but it's one to have your eyes on this game. Roswell playing their third game in as many days could hinder our high point prediction. So if you took the under that day, good for you because now it changes. I still see an all-offensive game and one won in transition, as it should be. Roll the ball out in this one. This one also has several players that we could find on the post-season award watchlist with Nathan Hasberry (2021) of Cleveland and Taymon Burrola (2021) of Roswell squaring off. Both could also be in the Mr. Basketball conversation.
Painting the Town Green: Los Alamos has been the early talk around town. They head to Espanola Valley which is trending in the other direction, starting 1-3 on the year. Los Alamos at 3-0 with an impressive win over Hope (which could be way down this year after watching them last night against Valley). Are the Los Alamos Hilltoppers ready to be the top team in District 2-4A? The new names on the board are Wesley Stanfield (2022) who is averaging 25 points per game, Harrison Frank (2023) putting in 21 per game, and Niko Garcia (2024) adding in 10. The future is bright.
First One Down: Valley head coach EZ Panas earned the first win of his career beating Hope Christian 50-28 last night. Oh yeah if you questioned the Vikings (I did) then you have your answer on them. They are not going anywhere this team was knocking down threes, Derick Chavez (2021) is sound, and they have role players.
