Roswell, NM --  The post season accolades have rolled in for the Colt basketball team.  Seniors Tom Bottomly and Connor Williamson, along with junior DeMarcus Doucette earned District 4-3A honors.  Williamson was also honored with the Associated Prep 2nd Team All-State honor. 

 

Bottomly, a 6-5 senior post player from Socorro, New Mexico led the Colts with a solid inside presence.  His defense and big body in the lane helped improve the Colt defense during the 2006-07 season.

 

Williamson, a senior guard from Roswell, led the Colts averaging over 18 points per game.  Along with his scoring presence, Williamson's defense pressured the opponents throughout the season.

 

Doucette, from Allen, Texas, made a sudden impact to the Colt basketball team as a junior.  In his first season at NMMI, Doucette ran the NMMI offense from the point guard position.  He was able to distribute the ball effectively as the Colts made great strides this season.   

 

This marks the end to the 2006-07 season in which the Colts went 19-11 and played in the quarterfinal round of the Class 3A State Basketball Tournament.
