A long road trip to New Mexico filled up the Eagles’ basketball team’s weekend, as they went to face New Mexico Highlands on Friday and Western New Mexico on Saturday. Action for the weekend started with neck-and-neck, nail biting action when the Eagle women’s team won a close victory over the New Mexico Highlands Cowgirls, 66-64.

The Chadron State women’s and men’s basketball team only had one game last weekend against Black Hills State on Saturday. Unfortunately, the Yellowjackets came and conquered by winning both games.

Chadron State’s men’s basketball team saw double action last weekend on Friday and Saturday when they faced Fort Lewis and Adams State.

The women’s basketball team had two games to finish before the athletes could go on Thanksgiving break. However, they headed into break with two more losses behind them, when Colorado Christian and Lubbock Christian both stole the show during the Holiday Inn Select Classic at Metro State.

Over Thanksgiving break, while many families were dining over a turkey feast, the Chadron State Men’s basketball team was on the road to Salt Lake City for the Westminister College Thanksgiving Tournament. On Friday, the Eagles faced the Montana Tech Orediggers.

The Chadron State men’s basketball team had their first home opener on Monday against University of Nebraska-Kearney. In two, 20 minute halves, the Lopers were able to defeat the Eagles 96-75.

On a crisp November afternoon, the Lady Eagle basketball team hosted Montana State University-Billings. The Yellowjackets took the win 79-64 when multiple people on the team scored in the double-digits.
