Bobcats Take Control of District 1-4A
In a key district matchup, No. 20 (NMPreps 4A Rankings) Bloomfield edged No. 18 Gallup, 50-48, in a game that could ultimately decide the district's lone bid to the state tournament. The Bobcats, now 3-0 in district play, were led by Asaias Stover (16 points) and Xavier Abernathy (9 points), while Gallup got balanced scoring from Crevin Watson and Sage Livingston (both with 11 points). The tight win positions Bloomfield as the team to beat in 1-4A.
Robertson Runs Wild in 3A
The Robertson Cardinals, ranked No. 1 in NMPreps 3A Rankings, continued their dominance with a 97-61 rout of Academy for Technology and Classics. Sophomore George Smith and junior Jesse James Gonzales each erupted for 27 points, while Nathan Gonzales (10 points, 7 blocks) provided defensive muscle. Even without head coach James Branch, the Cardinals remain the clear favorite in 3A.
Meanwhile, Bosque Prep (No. 7 3A) picked up an impressive 68-48 win over No. 15 Cuba, with Luca Kalishman (18 points), Josiah Wilson (16 points, 11 assists), and Oliver Tumolo (15 points, 6 rebounds) leading the charge.
Cobre’s Guck Brothers Shine in 3A/4A Clash
In a non-district showdown, Cobre (No. 16 in 3A) defeated Silver (No. 15 in 4A), 66-54, behind a monster performance from Zavin Guck (24 points). His younger brother, Izon Guck (14 points, 2028 class), continues to make a name for himself as one of the state’s rising freshmen. Silver’s Simeon Hawkins (19 points) kept the game competitive, but the Guck duo was too much to handle.

Top-ranked Volcano Vista made quick work of Farmington, 68-48, turning the Scorpions to dust behind a dominant second half. Meanwhile, No. 15 Carlsbad took a 55-43 win over No. 19 Clovis, a crucial result for the Cavemen as they try to avoid the playoff bubble.
No. 6 Cibola kept No. 12 Rio Rancho in free fall, securing a 70-60 win. The Rams, once a top-four seed contender, have now lost five straight, putting their state tournament hopes in jeopardy.
