Sanaa Keeswood wanted one more year of playing softball alongside her best friend.

In a historic first, the Shiprock Northwest softball team earned its highest seed ever for the New Mexico Class A/2A state softball tournament.

The seventh-seeded St. Michael softball team parlayed six of its 10 hits in the fifth and sixth inning in the opening round of the 1A state softball tournament on Wednesday afternoon.

Last season, the Gallup softball team fired a warning shot showing that they can be a force in Class 4A.

With a 20-1 record, the Rehoboth Christian baseball team earned the No. 2 seed in the Class 2A bracket, which the New Mexico Activities Association released on Sunday afternoon.
