RIO RANCHO — The New Mexico High School Coaches Association (NMHSCA) announced the All-State teams for the 2024-25 season, and players from Bernalillo, Cleveland and Rio Rancho all made the cut.

Notable names on the list include Rams catcher Lilyrose Larrabee, who has become a household name in softball; last season she was the Offensive Player of the Year.

“It’s always an honor to these lists, and I cannot wait to be out there with my girls again,” Larrabee said.

Also, a pair of Spartans made their presence known and were automatic when catching fly balls. The two Spartans making the list were seniors Ashlyn Chavez and Neiva Montoya.

Here is the full list of teams:

Bernalillo High School Second Team All-State: senior Ashlyn Chavez (outfield), senior Neiva Montoya (outfield)

Cleveland High School Second Team All-State: senior Amanda McKinley (first base)

Rio Rancho High School First team All-State: junior Lilyrose Larrabee (catcher)

Second team All-State: senior Aleah Alvarado (infield)
