Not more than a few hours past when the New Mexico High School Coaches Association released its latest poll did a big upset occur in Class 5A as No. 6 Eldorado defeated No. 2 La Cueva 76-57 Wednesday night. It may make Hobbs' stay in the top five brief (Hobbs moved past Eldorado from sixth to fifth) as Eldorado has been voted favorably throughout the season. Still, a win over Clovis on Friday at Tasker Arena to clinch District 4-5A with a perfect 4-0 mark may be enough to keep them there. And who knows where (or if) La Cueva will slide. My bet would be that Albuquerque High moves past La Cueva in the poll if it wins out this week. Like I said before, this week will determine a lot in how the state tournament is seeded.
