4A BOYS BASKETBALL

Minimal shifts are observed within the top 10. Highland (11-4 overall), Albuquerque Academy (9-2 overall), and Valley (11-3 overall) maintain their positions at 1, 2, and 3 in our 4A rankings. The realignment occurs within the 10-16 slots, as teams engage in the intricate game of mutual victories and defeats --- A beat B, C beat A, B beat C game. The 4A basketball scene is witnessing a bubbling atmosphere, intensifying debates as we approach Selection Sunday. Lovington notably secured a 3-0 record in Taos during the North-South games, triumphing over Taos, Los Alamos, and Belen.

3A BOYS BASKETBALL

As we step into a new week, there's a noticeable absence of movement in our rankings. Navajo Prep (7-4 overall), Robertson (11-1 overall), and Santa Fe Indian (11-3 overall) maintain their positions at 1, 2, and 3. However, a noteworthy discussion surrounds Santa Fe Indian's performance at their annual Braves Invitational at SFIS, where they secured a 2-1 record and encountered a setback in the title game against 2A Mesa Vista, falling 55-48. This raises debates about a potential two-team top tier, featuring Robertson and Navajo Prep, while the second tier includes teams from West Las Vegas (No. 4) to Santa Fe Prep (No. 8), alongside Santa Fe Indian (No. 3) now.

2A BOYS BASKETBALL

As we enter Week 8, our 2A team rankings witness some movement. Menaul and Jal have descended outside the top 10, with Menaul securing a 1-2 record at the Santa Fe Indian Invite—losing to Sandia Prep and Santa Fe Prep by 21 and 13 points, respectively. Their lone victory came against Laguna-Acoma, currently holding a 1-14 record. On the rise are McCurdy, Mora, and Mesa Vista, the latter particularly impressive with a flawless 3-0 weekend, clinching the SFIS Invite championship. Mesa Vista claimed victories over Sandia Prep, Santa Fe Prep, and Santa Fe Indian in a compelling title game, signaling their ascent in the rankings.
