Educators faced off in the inaugural staff softball game, celebrating teamwork, school pride and community spirit.

Staff from West Mesa High School and Atrisco Heritage Academy High School took part in the first ever Rivalry Staff Softball game, hosted by West Mesa Educators Rising. The evening was full of sportsmanship, humor and community building from both sides.

Awards were given for the Golden Glove, Best Hits and Mustang/Jaguar Pride. Although there are some lingering questions regarding eligibility of all players, the Jaguars came away with the win in the inaugural game in front of a crowd of nearly 200 throughout the night.

Great work, Mustangs and Jaguars!
