The country superstar and former American Idol contestant will be making her way to El Paso for a Spring concert!

It was back in 2020 when our very own Steve Kaplowitz wrote an article asking when Don Haskins would get his own Bronze statue. Fast forward 4 years later and that long overdue honor will now become a reality thanks to a few El Pasoans.

From his basketball playing career at Texas Western and later UTEP to his charitable foundation, Willie Cager spent his life giving back to El Paso.

Former UTEP basketball player Kent Lockhart, who played for Don Haskins and the Miners from 1981-1985 has passed away at the age of 59.

What are the first El Paso things you think of? Well here's a list of El Paso landmarks from A-Z.

To honor one of the most legendary names in El Paso basketball history, the UTEP men's basketball program named its multi-team event during Thanksgiving week after Jim Forbes.

The more I look at the 2022-23 UTEP men's basketball roster, the more I see a group of players who embody the personality of Miners head coach Joe Golding.

After being a finalist six times, former UTEP point guard Tim Hardaway will be enshrined into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2022.

One of our very own Miners is a finalist to be inducted into this year's NBA Hall of Fame.

El Paso lost one of its most iconic sports figures on Friday morning with the news that Jim Forbes died Friday morning at the age of 69.
