Where Things Stand In Every District: Class 3A

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're in the final week of the regular season. Here's how Class 3A shapes up heading into next week's district tournaments:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Navajo Prep</strong> (22-3, 11-0) has clinched the regular season District 3A-1 title and carries a 15-game winning streak into Thursday's regular season finals at Crownpoint. Two or three additional teams from 3A-1 could make the state tournament – <strong>Tohatchi </strong>(20-6, 9-3), Thoreau (12-13, 6-5) and <strong>Wingate</strong> (14-10, 6-5) are possibilities</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>St. Michael's</strong> (20-5, 8-1) still leads District 3A-2 despite Tuesday night's last-second loss to <strong>Robertson</strong> on [player_tooltip player_id='2216708' first='Michael' last='Marr']'s 35-footer as time expired. The Horsemen can claim the outright title with a victory at struggling <strong>Santa Fe Prep</strong> Friday night. <strong>Santa Fe Indian</strong> (20-4, 7-2) and <strong>Robertson</strong> (15-10, 7-2) are tied for second and those two teams square off Thursday night at SFIS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With two regular season games remaining, red hot <strong>Cobre </strong>(20-3, 4-0) has clinched at least a share of the District 3A-3 regular season title. The Indians have won 13 consecutive games and face <strong>Socorro</strong> and <strong>Hatch Valley</strong> (combined 11-33 record) in the final two games, so it will take a pair of massive upsets to deny Cobre the outright district title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tularosa</strong> (22-3, 5-0) secured the District 3A-4 regular season title with Tuesday night's convincing 70-41 victory over <strong>NMMI</strong>. The Wildcats face Ruidoso Friday in the regular season finale. Tularosa has lost just two games since New Year's Day – Navajo Prep on Jan. 8 and Cobre on Jan. 29. The Wildcats are No. 6 in the latest MaxPreps rankings. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bosque</strong> (15-9, 6-1) can clinch the District 3A-5 title with a win Thursday night at Sandia Prep. The Bobcats lead <strong>East Mountain</strong> (22-2, 5-2) by one game in the district standings. Both those teams should earn high seeds for the 3A state tournament. In fact, East Mountain is No. 3 in the latest MaxPreps rankings, four spots ahead of Bosque, even though they trail the Bobcats in the district standings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key Players To Watch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2833709' first='Dontrey' last='Callado'], Santa Fe Indian</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Myka Candeleria, Tohatchi</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2693613' first='Zavin' last='Guck'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2714599' first='Izon' last='Guck'], Cobre</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2706580' first='Ryan' last='Hunt'], St. Michael's</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>River Kasero, Tularosa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2175829' first='Dylan' last='Lansing'], Navajo Prep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2216708' first='Michael' last='Marr'], Robertson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2216957' first='Vicente' last='Ortiz'], East Mountain &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2309741' first='Josiah' last='Wilson'], Bosque   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">MaxPreps Basketball Rankings<br>Last updated 2/16/26<br>Boys<br>Class 3A<a href="https://t.co/ftTK3Z3dVb">https://t.co/ftTK3Z3dVb</a>.
