After watching Elijah Foster Elijah Foster 6'4" | CG Cibola | 2024 State NM this summer, I’m excited for the big season he will have for Cibola during his junior year this upcoming season. He is a versatile forward that can play multiple positions on both ends of the floor. On the offensive side of the floor, Elijah can be the Point-Forward and run the offensive and can create his own shot with ease. He has turned into a consistent knock down three-point shooter who plays his best when attacking the rim. Elijah has excelled at being Cibola’s primary scoring option and will have a ton of success this year.

Marquise Renfro: 6’0 Guard/Forward “Atrisco Heritage” Class of 2024
Marquise Renfro is another player that is a multi-sport athlete that just looks different from other players on the court. He looked really impressive over the course of the summer and off-season. Marquise looks stronger and has added to his three-point shot. During his junior year last season, he emerged as one of the states up and coming premier slashers around the rim. Now with his consistent three-point shot added to his game, it will make him harder to defend. Defensively, he was the leader in Atrisco’s press break on defense and forced a lot of turnover which turned into layups on the other end of the floor.

Eldorado’s Josh Jackson Josh Jackson 6'5" | PF Eldorado | 2024 State NM really impressed me over the summer with his play with his club team; Albuquerque Basketball Club.

He is dependable inside the paint and around the rim with his smooth finishing ability. I expect him to have a big season for the Eldorado Eagles this upcoming year.
