New Mexico Prep Basketball (Historical)

Current Activity:

I am working on getting the schedules for all 2014-2015 boys teams and brackets for all tournaments. I am keeping up with all scores but as of yet I have not figured a way to put them on the web site. I have an Microsoft Access file with over 65,000 scores of boys basketball games for NM teams. I get these scores from newspapers, old annuals, school newspapers, etc. For current years I use MaxPreps primarily since it is the NMAA site. My data base includes scores of all NM schools from 1902-1951 and 2005-2014. If I can figure out how to put these scores on the site, I will try to do it.

I want to thank Rick Shed for his help in getting the Hobbs Holiday Tournament up to date. Rick has a great book on Kindle "Hobbs Basketball by the Numbers" which may be purchased from Amazon. All results from the Hobbs Tournament are now included.

Navigation of this Web Site:
This site is a historical site and pages will not change except for the correction of errors and adding additional information.

Most information is by year. Year means the year of the State Tournament, thus basketball for the school year 2009-2010 will be shown as 2010. Start by clicking either Boys or Girls and then click the year. Most information for that year will be indicated on that page. You can always click home to get back here.

The tabs above are for the following:
    SCHOOLS A listing of all of the schools in New Mexico that have played basketball in at least one district tournament since 1921. School colors and mascots are listed as well as the location of the school. Current class and district is listed for open schools, and the last year that the school played in district tournament is shown for closed schools. YOU CAN'T GET TO SCHOOL RECORDS AND COACHES FROM THIS LOCATION.
    BOYS Click the year you are looking for. If you want to look at 1988-1989 basketball season, then click 1989. From the control page relating to that year, you can chek out the state tournament bracket (with results) of all games, pictures of the champions, and occasionally a story about that tournament.

    CONTACT CHUCK Please contact me to correct any errors, or to submit other information that I might post.

* Although I have completed posting pictures of all championship teams (and a few others), I would be willing to accept better quality photos for any team. For the years since 2001, I scanned the pictures from the program, and the quality is not too good. I am definately looking for better. In 2001, I used the photos submitted to NMAA and they came out great! However I really like the team pictures that are in color! If you have a picture, please click "Contact Chuck" and let me know.
