While we’re on the Lobos, the Chamber wants to congratulate the team on all of its accolades this year.

Jason Eck was named the Mountain West Coach of the Year, and Jaxton Eck was named the Mountain West Co-Defensive Player of the Year.

The Ecks are the first father-son duo to both earn major postseason conference awards in Mountain West history.

Good luck in Phoenix, and congratulations on this historic season!
