Hero Bob Miller Crowns WTC National Junior College Title
The Western Texas College Westerners won the 1975 NJCAA basketball title in Hutchinson Kansas. Bob Miller, praised as a bona fide hero, had a prior link to local youth Randy Courtney through visits to the Courtney home and a chair in which Miller once sat. City officials face a delay in new Federal Urban Street Improvement Program projects for Snyder, with potential work on Roundtop Road and Thirty seventh Street and a possible future extension of Avenue E to the college, contingent on FM road designation and county funding.
