The schedule makes this week’s high school basketball action look like high school football.
All of the games fall on Friday night with midterm exams otherwise giving teams the week off. With a large slate of evenly matched contests, separation could be created in the competition where Las Vegas Sun sports editors Ray Brewer and Case Keefer pick the biggest games.
Check below for this week’s picks.

Liberty
I like Liberty’s upward trajectory, but it will be stymied here.

Troy Brown Jr. gets all the attention. Jake Hutchings has been equally good for Dawgs..
Centennial 76, Centennial 58
Brown goes off for at least 30 in this game.
Centennial 76, Legacy 50
Durango should have beaten Centennial last week. They’ll be a tough out in the playoffs.
Durango 79, Foothill 60
Not ready to write off Foothill just yet.
Foothill 67, Durango 64
Arbor View is better than I expected.

Jesse Vogel is one of the top scorers in town.

I’m 0-2 this year when picking Rancho. Come on, Rams.
Rancho 65, Bonanza 60
Consider the “come on, Rams” sentiment seconded.
Rancho 59, Bonanza 57
Anyone have a coin? This is the game of the week.
Silverado 75, Shadow Ridge 72
My coin leans toward Jerrell Springer and Nick Blake.
Shadow Ridge 67, Silverado 58
I’ll take the team with the best player, Palo Verde’s Taylor Miller.
Palo Verde 70, Desert Oasis 68
Diamondbacks have been one of the most underrated teams in town.
Desert Oasis 72, Palo Verde 68
When in doubt, always pick the Wildcats.
Las Vegas 71, Cimarron-Memorial 64
Another solid game; Friday is stacked.
Cimarron 61, Las Vegas 58
I’ve been high on Sierra Vista all season.
