6A
Best Game: #2 Hobbs at #4 Mayfield
One would think a game the night before you have to go on the road would bother some teams. I don't think that'll bother Hobbs one bit. Mayfield's Coach Maya is one the best in state and should have a game plan for the 3rd Place Lady Trojans. If Hobbs wins by double-digits on the road the night after a big win, what can stop them from taking over the number one spot?
Upset Alert: Onate at Las Cruces
Both teams started district off with wins, but have since lost 3 straight. Onate's Jayden Perez and her team will look to play the role of spoiler against the Lady Bulldawgs (Perez's former team) and move up to 5th with a win over LC.
5A
Seed Spot: Kirtland Central at Farmington
KC and Farmington are floating around that mid-tier spot in the bracket projections and a win here could launch one of them into the Top-10. KC will look to continue their district momentum after a win against Aztec. Farmington looks to rebound after a loss on the road in Gallup.
Intrigued: Gallup at Miyamura
Gallup has had some close calls this season including a double-OT win over former district rival Grants. Both teams have had common opponents that they've nearly lost or nearly beaten this season. The G-town rivalry hasn't been this evenly matched in probably EVER.
No More "Ls": Artesia at Alamogordo,
Alamogordo is looking to avenge an early loss at Artesia (54-48) and stop a 5-game losing streak.
4A
Must See Game: Portales at Moriarty
After dropping down to 4A from 5A, Moriarty has done fairly well. They'll have to face a perennial state contender in Portales in the new 4A power district opener. Don't forget Hope is in that district as well.
Back Eight to Bubble: Hatch Valley at Silver
Silver has one of the better records from District 3-4A and with fairly equal play from fellow district rivals Cobre and Socorro, Silver will need to start their district play off the right foot or risk falling to the back end of the the bracket.
3A
Under-the-Radar Game: Tucumcari at Logan
Tucumcari is looking to continue their 8-game winning streak and picking up wins against potential district champs are just what the Lady Rattlers need. Logan is a district favorite after beating district foes Fort Sumner/House and Dora earlier this season.
