In 1966, a group of young men from El Paso stepped onto the national stage and changed the course of American sports and culture forever. The Texas Western Miners were more than a championship team—they were a catalyst, a symbol of courage, and a living testament to what happens when discipline, unity, and belief collide with history. Their victory over Kentucky didn’t just win a title; it shattered barriers, challenged a nation, and ignited a legacy that still echoes across generations. This podcast revisits their journey, honors the men who lived it, and explores how their story continues to shape the soul of our community.
Pam Seitz Pippen was a Texas Western cheerleader in 1966, standing in the gym when the Miners made history and won the national championship. Ten years later, she was again in the building when Eastwood captured the 1976 state title. Few people witnessed both defining moments in El Paso basketball, and Pam is one of them — a living link between the city’s two greatest victories.
