It was the last game of the season for the NMMI Bronco basketball team, and also likely the last official game in the Cahoon Armory gym before the entire building undergoes a complete renovation - with both of those as motivating factors, NMMI downed conference foe Western Texas College, 69-58.

Borger, Texas - The New Mexico Military Institute Bronco basketball team came back to win their third conference game of the season, downing Frank Phillips College last Monday, 96-89.
NMMI trailed by nine at the half, 44-35, but the offense caught fire in the second, shooting almost 65% from the field (22-for-34) and over 73% from the free throw line (11-for-15), en route to a 61-point period.
Timely threes by the New Mexico Military Bronco basketball team weren’t quite enough to get the win over conference opponent Midland College, as inside scoring and outstanding rebounding by Chap center Elijah Lufile helped his team finish with a seven-point win, 64-57.
