Scoop: Clovis is up into the top-8, Onate and Carlsbad fall out. Hobbs slid up to the 8th spot. Volcano Vista dropped from second to fourth. Capital and Las Cruces moved up, Capital with two impressive wins. The back nine is a mess! We could almost put any team in any order at this point. Finish in district will play a huge factor come seed debate.

Scoop: Not much movement in 4A basketball again this week but that could mean that any team could make a case for any of the rankings. This is the most unknown year and much like the state tournament last season, any team could win it all.
