BOYS: Volcano Vista (12-3-1 overall) clinched the District 1-6A title on Saturday, beating Cibola 4-1. Everybody else in the district has at least three losses, and the Hawks (6-0 in district) can’t finish any worse than 6-2 in league play.

La Cueva on Saturday drew 1-1 with second-place Sandia, and that probably was enough to assure the District 2-6A championship goes to the Bears, who are 7-0-1 with two games remaining. Sandia is 5-2-1.

From District 4-6A, Albuquerque High is leading at 7-1, with Atrisco Heritage and Valley both a game behind. The Jaguars play host to the Bulldogs on Friday, with AHS already having won the first meeting in overtime.

• St. Pius had a huge week in District 5-5A, going 3-0, including a crucial 2-0 victory on Thursday over previous league leader Los Lunas. The Sartans are 6-1 in district, the Tigers 5-1. Los Lunas has two district games remaining, St. Pius just one.

Albuquerque Academy has not yet fully clinched District 2-5A, after losing 1-0 at home on Saturday to Los Alamos. But all the Chargers have to do is defeat Del Norte on Thursday to do so. Academy also has a fun nondistrict matchup Saturday with rival St. Pius.

Bosque School clinched the District 5-1A/4A crown Thursday after downing Sandia Prep 1-0. But the Bobcats, interestingly enough, don’t have another game for a while. They don’t play this week and, if they get a first-round playoff bye, Bosque will go 21 days between matches.

From District 4-1A/4A, Hope Christian’s 3-1 decision over Portales on Friday, combined with Portales’ loss to Saturday, makes the Huskies that league’s regular-season champion.

GIRLS: District 1-6A is far from a done deal, unlike so many of the boys’ districts and even most of the girls’ districts.

Cibola, with its 3-2 win Saturday over Volcano Vista, is 5-1-1 in league play. The Cougars win the regular season if they defeat Rio Rancho on Thursday.

But the Rams (3-1-2) can also win the district, with victories Thursday and also Saturday night against Piedra Vista.

La Cueva’s overtime win against Sandia on Saturday takes the Matadors out of the District 2-6A championship picture, leaving the Bears (7-0-1) and Eldorado (5-1-2) in the hunt. La Cueva and the Eagles meet on Tuesday night, but Eldorado, even with a win, would still need help from the Bears in the form of a La Cueva loss on Saturday in Clovis.

Albuquerque High locked up the District 4-6A crown on Friday, routing West Mesa 10-0. The Bulldogs are 8-0 in the district. Rio Grande (5-2-1) is in second place following a 4-1 decision over Valley on Saturday.

In Class 5A, Academy (District 2) and St. Pius (District 5) have already secured regular-season titles. The rivals meet in the season finale Saturday on the West Side.

Hope Christian (District 4) and Sandia Prep (District 5) have won their Class 1A/4A districts.

The New Mexico Activities Association  will announce the playoff brackets on Sunday.
