Movement:
Out: Rio Rancho (15), La Cueva (16) | New: Atrisco Heritage (15), Cibola (16)
Scoop: Things are starting to settle into place. We did have a couple of upsets during the week with Cibola beating Volcano Vista, days after Volcano Vista gave Cleveland their first loss. Other news this week was Clovis falling to Pecos, however, if you know Pecos this is one of the premier basketball powers. Atrisco Heritage is also back in the Power-16 with a win over Rio Rancho in OT (49-46). The bubble is going to bring so much entertaintment and can't wait to break the NMPreps.com's Road to the PIT later today.
