End of Summer Ball.

Our summer season comes to a close after a weekend of great competition at the ENMU Team Camp.

This group took another step forward over the past few weeks. They competed, shared the basketball, defended, communicated, and never stopped fighting. From a buzzer-be**er win over Portales to battling back from big deficits and earning wins over quality opponents, this team showed resilience and growth every time they stepped on the floor.

Thank you to our players for their commitment, our coaches for their time, our parents and fans for their support, and our sponsors for making this summer possible.

Now it’s time to get back to work. The foundation has been built—see you this winter.

Go Cats! 🐾💙

Big-time win for the Wildcats!

Lovington knocked off the defending state champions, Highland, 61-41, with a complete team performance from start to finish. The Wildcats shared the ball, played outstanding defense, and communicated at a high level on every possession. That unselfish play and relentless effort set the tone all game long.

A great team win and another step forward. Proud of the way these guys competed.

Let’s go! 💙🐾

Tough one to finish the day.

After facing a 20-point halftime deficit, the Wildcats showed what they’re made of—battling all the way back to erase the lead, tie the game, and force overtime. The effort, toughness, and heart this team displayed never faded, but Lovington came up just short, falling 61–59 to Artesia.
