|
EL PASO – Willie Cager is a household name in this city. He began his journey when he was picked up from the Bronx to come play for the Texas Western Miners, now UT El Paso. To most El Pasoans, Cager and his teammates are legendary for winning the historic 1966 NCAA national championship. But many may not know that Willie has continued to be a big influence on the community through his work with youth sports. Since graduating in 1967 it has been Cager’s passion to give back to the children of El Paso.
