The National Federation of State High School Associations on Tuesday of this week announced that states can implement a 35-second shot clock in basketball starting in the 2022-23 season – if they so desire.
So what will New Mexico do?
The process of answering that question hasn’t really begun yet.
New Mexico Activities Association executive director Sally Marquez said the first thing her office must do is take the temperature of the approximately 155 basketball-playing schools around the state, and get feedback – from coaches, athletic directors and administrators – on what they’d like.
......................
Already, eight states utilize a shot clock. But, as a result, those state associations gave up their seats on the NFHS basketball rules committee. Those states are California, South Dakota, Rhode Island, Maryland, New York, Washington, Massachusetts and North Dakota. Georgia

New Mexico is now administering the Pfizer vaccine for COVID-19 to children ages 12 to 15, as state health officials pushed Thursday for more people to get vaccinated.
The move by the state Health Department follows authorizations this week by the federal Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The state is encouraging families to register children on its vaccine website.
The expanded availability applies only to the Pfizer vaccine, which until now was only available to people ages 16 and older. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are authorized for people 18 and older.
State officials say more than half of eligible residents are now considered fully vaccinated.
