Rio Rancho
6A
#1. Rio Rancho (Auto)
#2. Cleveland (At-Large)
#3. Las Cruces (Auto)
#4. Eldorado (Auto)

Top Four: All four receive a bye and for the most part go to District Champs with the exception of District 1-6A. Clovis and Eldorado square off this Friday, Eldorado the edge with the ranking of 7th - Clovis is 10th.


#5. Volcano Vista (At-Large)
#6. Clovis (At-Large)
#7. Onate (At-Large) UP
#8. Mayfield (At-Large) DOWN

Next Four: Volcano Vista is ranked 4th in the state right now but dropping two games in District play could drop them out of the Top-4, maybe it should but the Eldorado loss could linger if Eldorado is DC. Centennial-Mayfield play this weekend and could mix this up or possibly drop Mayfield one tier down.


#9. Centennial (At-Large)
#10. Manzano (At-Large) UP
#11. La Cueva (At-Large) UP
#12. West Mesa (Auto)

Centennial could play into the next tier. Piedra Vista loss to Manzano drop them from 10 to OUT this week. La Cueva quietly hanging around but need to beat Sandia and easily.

Bracket
#8 Mayfield vs #9 Centennial/Winner plays #1 Rio Rancho
#5 Volcano Vista vs #12 West Mesa/Winner plays #4 Eldorado
#7 Onate vs #10 Manzano/Winner plays #2 Cleveland
#6 Clovis vs #11 La Cueva/Winner plays #3 Las Cruces

5A

#1. Artesia (Auto)
#2. Los Lunas (Auto)
#3. Roswell (At-Large)
UP
#4. Alamogordo (Auto) DOWN

Top Four: I know people will point out that Alamogordo recently lost. However, the win over St. Pius helps along with being the most likely District 3-5A champion will help.

#5. St. Pius X (At-Large)
#6. Goddard (At-Large)
UP
#7. Belen (At-Large) DOWN
#8. Miyamura (Auto)

St. Pius and Goddard could switch slots with the Alamogordo factor - Goddard won at home, Pius lost on the road. Pius with the nod being a projected DRU, Goddard third in District play. Farmington-Miyamura are possible front runners for 1-5A. Belen at 7 seems high but they fall as a potential District third place finisher.

#9. Farmington (At-Large)
#10. Del Norte (Auto)
#11. Aztec (At-Large)
#12. Grants (At-Large)

There is a huge gap between top 7 and the final 5 spots. Farmington and Miyamura could play again in the state tournament. Del Norte, the front runner from 2-5A, finally earned a win this past week. Aztec and Grants seem the next next suitors with Capital staying on the radar for the 12-spot if they win out (or drop one to Del Norte).
