Unknown Breakout Players For 2016-2017
Joshua J Grine
Today, we take a look around the state for players who had successful seasons but maybe a bit under the radar. Sometimes it happens from lack of information or a team that was sub-pair.
What we are looking for is players who could see their stock rise the most. Known but seldom making the list of Top Players for the week.

Ten Players To Keep An Eye On
Cael Apodaca - Highland HS - 2017
It has been a couple years since the Hornets had a really talented stretch-four. Well, Apodaca a senior to be ranked #93 on the NMPreps.com Top 100 Player Rankings might be one of the biggest jumps in rankings depending on how the Hornets play next season.
Chris Mesquita - Roswell HS - 2017
Most that follow the state of New Mexico knew the Coyotes go-to player Daniel Amador. Well, this season the Coyotes will be in search of the new go-to player. They could have a pair in Garrett Smothermon, who we liked this post season or in Mesquita.
Kevin Medrano - Gadsden HS - 2017
The Panthers lose a majority of their scoring and Medrano is the returning stud to look out for. From what we seen, he is a solid prospect. Decent size, can go inside or outside. The revolving door for the head coach spot affected this team and some stability built around him next season is necessary.
Mario Archuleta - Pecos HS - 2018
Unless you follow the small school division you won't be too familiar with Archuleta. The top scoring guard for 3A Pecos could be a high rising name in this classification next season.
Braden Fraze - Texico HS - 2017
Could be looking for a repeat as Fraze an All- NMPreps.com 3A Team member will be one to watch. Size, can shoot and overall a basketball-athlete. Keep an eye out for the name.
