Rio Rancho JV baseball team suspended pending investigation into urination incident
RIO RANCHO — The entire Rio Rancho High School junior varsity baseball team has been suspended from the program pending investigations into a player who allegedly urinated into a water jug, which several La Cueva High School baseball players may have drank from during a game last week.
Wyndham Kemsley, interim executive director of communications with RRPS, confirmed those developments to the Observer on Wednesday following a home game against La Cueva High School from Albuquerque on March 25, when the incident is believed to have occurred.
"We want to make it clear that the alleged behavior is abhorrent and does not represent the standards and values expected of all students who attend Rio Rancho Public Schools," Kemsley wrote in a statement. "If determined to be true, the discipline for all those involved will be severe."
He declined to offer more specifics about what the district knows, but La Cueva Principal Darrell Garcia wrote in a letter to families Monday that a student allegedly admitted to urinating in the jug and that "authorities in Rio Rancho are in the process of filing criminal charges."
