The Northern Rio Grande (NRG) Conference was formed in late January, 1947, with a tournament planned

for the last week of January, 1948. The schools that became the charter members were Espanola, Pojoaque,

St. Catherine, Taos, McCurdy Mission, Santa Fe Indian School, Spanish American Normal (El Rito), Santa Cruz,

and Los Alamos. Tierra Amarilla was present but not included because of the lack of facilities. There was an

invitational tournament hosted by Espanola High School which included the charter schools in the NRG plus

Chama and Tierra Amarilla. This Espanola Invitational became the FIRST NRG tournament for historical

purposes. The NRG is the third oldest continuing basketball tournament in New Mexico. Only the Bean Valley, which

is a conference like NRG, and the Gallup Invitational are older. The Bean Valley started in 1938, and Gallup

started in 1945. However, as a true basketball fan, I believe than the NRG is the most consistently

competitive in the state. The gym is always full for the NRG tournament and the games are remarkably close.

The teams have been seeded based on conference record since the early days of the tournament, but there

ALWAYS seem to be a few upsets in the works.

In 1956, the Northern Rio Grande Conference decided to go with the flow and try Class A and Class B divisions in their

tournament. It was not a successful plan and was dropped after a one year trial. In my opinion this was a big reason

the tournament proved successful and became one of the most balanced tournaments in the state.

Albuquerque High School and Raton made a single year appearance in 1956.
