In the Class 6A Softball State Championship Las Cruces would complete the upset by defeating top seeded La Cueva twice for the State Title. Las Cruces was a 7 seed coming into the tournament.
In the Class 5A Baseball State Championship Farmington would take out reigning state champs, Goddard. The Rockets would make things interesting late, but the Scorpions would prevail to tale the 5A Title with a 5-3 victory.
Artesia would once again take home the 5A State Softball trophy, as the Lady Bulldogs took out Farmington twice to win the title. Artesia lost to Farmington earlier in the trophy and would battle their way through the losers bracket to take another State Title.
