Games to Watch
There are not too many compelling games happening this early in the New Mexico season, but still some things to note, and what should be great game in El Paso.
- Former EP Times #1 Eastlake, now ranked #4, will be visiting current #1 Franklin. Eastlake has some outstanding fire power in Fia Willia and Sofie Kelemente. The big question: is it enough to overcome the Cougars in their own house.
- Piedra Vista hosts the Bayfield, CO, Lady Wolverines who are coming in with a 6-0 record and some quality wins under their belt, including a 5-set victory over Montezuma-Cortez.
- Not really expecting a barn-burner here, but the Ruidoso-Mayfield match could be interesting. Ruidoso held their own against Las Cruces last week, and had a few quality victories at the Jane Leupold Sweet 16, including a win over Roswell. Setter Elizabeth Lindsey and company should make things tough for the Lady Trojans.
Valley’s Karina Grajeda MaxPreps/AVCA POW
Congrats to Lady Viking Karina Grajeda for winning the MaxPreps Player of the Week award, for her performance against Del Norte. Grajeda, a senior OH/Opposite, racked up 25 kills and a .543 hitting percentage in four sets against Del Valle last weekend.
