The 2018-19 school year brought many exciting opportunities for students to campus, featuring a performance by Jesse McCartney, victories against Div. I football teams and appearances in March Madness. The highlights from the year are as follows:
Jesse McCartney began the year and ended Wildcat week with a performance for the new freshmen in August.
Wildcat football took on the Baylor Bears in a historical first game against a Big 12 opponent in September.
The Abilene Reporter-News building burned in a three-alarm fire caused by electrical issues in November.
For the first time in years, the men of Galaxy swept a victory in every category in Sing Song.
Both men and women’s basketball took the title of Southland Conference champion and proceeded to play in the NCAA March Madness tournament.
