The Panthers, ranked No. 4 in Class 5A, saw their ranking leap to No. 3 overall in the state, behind only Cleveland and Las Cruces.

Teams like St. Michael’s, Santa Fe, Grants, Valencia, West Las Vegas, Dexter, Bernalillo, and Albuquerque Academy all managed wins in this manner.\n\nInter-state travel was common for some teams, as La Cueva and St. Pius participated in lengthy road trips.

The upcoming showdown between Cleveland and La Cueva, favored by a single-point margin, remains eagerly anticipated.",
