Quarterfinals 1-Eldorado vs 8-Mayfield 2-Sandia vs 7-Valley 3-Gallup vs 6-Cibola 4-Las Cruces vs 5-Clovis I see Kya DeGarmo leading the Golden Eagles past the Trojans into the semis.My Cinderella pick will be Valley and Angel Reyes getting by Sandia after the fifth try and pulling off the upset.Gallup takes down Cibola as Justina Prairie-Chief leads her team to the semis.The Bulldawgs contain Antiesha Brown and the rest of the wildcats and end up playing the Golden Eagles in the semi finals. Semi-Finals 1-Eldorado vs 4-Las Cruces the rematch that didn't happen because the Hobbs Eagles took down Eldorado in the Las Cruces tournament.The speed of Kya DeGarmo and the rest of the Lady Golden Eagles will be to much for the Dawgs and DeGarmo will see her second finals in four stellar years at Eldo.The other Semi finalists will be the 3-Bengals vs the 7-Vikings.The crowd and the experience of the Bengals will be too much for the young Vikings and Gallup squeaks into the finals. Finals- 1-Eldorado vs 3-Gallup Close your eyes and picture the PIT in Orange and Black on one side matter of fact all sides and the texas burn't orange white and gold mixed in.The PIT will be rockin at 2:30pm on Saturday March 13TH.Be There!!!!!!....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Eldorado wins the Blue trophy and DeGarmo is the MVP!!!!

No doubt about Eldorado about being the #1 seed.Sandia beat Las Cruces earlier in the year and for that they get the #2 seed.I take Gallup as your #3 because of strength of schedule and if they take down Cibola again at home they deserve it.If not Las Cruces get the #3.Las Cruces as the #4 with Clovis as your #5.Cibola getting the #6 seed since they have dropped off after losing Korina due to a foot injury.Valley Vikings are the 7 seed as long as the make to the district finals.#8 belongs to Coach Maya’s Mayfield Trojans.#9,10,11,12 are solid slots and the rest of the field you could mix them up if you want.Things could change if Cleveland makes it to the district finals which would not be a long shot.Also if La Cueva gets by Valley that could knock out the Vikings from getting a home game in the first round.I see the top 8 seeds making it to the next round and La Cueva as a three peat champion comes to an end.
