NMAA Girls Softball Finals Class 3A, 2A and 1A Banner Winners

The Class 3A New Mexico State Softball finals conclude with the West Las Vegas Lady Dons, whose sensation Malie Satete, an eighth-grader, garnering a load of attention this season with her state-record 25 home runs. She proved Friday they are more than a one-young woman-band but a team committed to victory. 

Senior catcher Tajette Horner’s bases loaded RBI single to right field broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth inning on Friday, proving to be the game-winning, and Class 3A state championship clinching, run in a 4-1 victory over No. 2 Cobre at Rio Rancho High School.

Congratulations to West Las Vegas as it clinched it first state softball championship, ever! 

And in Class 2A/1A action the Loving Falcons Made it three in a row and four of the last five Class 1A/2A state softball championships. Friday’s 16-0 run-rule route of No. 5 seed Mesilla Valley Christian gave their program a state championship No. 20 dating back to 1989. The No. 2 seeded Falcons (28-2) outscored 1A/2A tournament opponents 43-6.
