7.) Cibola (4-3)
8.) Clovis (5-2)
9.) Valley (5-2)
10.) Cleveland (4-3)
Dropped out: Eldorado
NOTES: Mayfield remains the lone unbeaten in the class, and continued their roll, but tougher district games await. ...La Ceva didn't play a bunch of starter and still hammered Santa Fe. ...Las Cruces is looking scarier by the week. ...Manzano wasn't challenged this week. Their toughest games are in the past -- at least until the playoffs stat. ...Rio Rancho can put up the points. Now if its defense can just afind a way to stop someody. ...Oñate has had a week off to prepare for the Bulldawgs, let's see what teh Knights ahve come up with. ...Ciboa has shown it can play good teams tough. Now it has to show it can beat them. ...Clovis whipped up on a sliding Eldorado group up at home; but I'm still not convinced the Wildcats can win outside of Clovis. ...Valley's back, but their wins have all come at the expense of weak teams and La Cueva still looms. ...Cleveland couldn't make its stadium opener a memorable one.

Notes: Texico is legitimate. The Wolverines will be the team to beat the rest of the season. ...Lordsburg also is legit, setting up a championship showdown. ...Estancia has some street cred, as well and will be heard from come playoff time. ...Eunice just came up with a big win over Tucumcari. ...Cuba has been a surprise, but let's see what happens when district time rolls around.
