Hall of Fame
Jesus “Chuy” Guerra played for the Broncs men's basketball team from 1972-76, earning NCAA Division I Academic All-American honors as a junior and a senior.
Guerra is the Broncs' all-time leader in career assists with 771. He also ranks four all-time in minutes played with 3,187 and 15th all-time in points scored with 1,154.
“I learned that the game is simple. Give the ball to the best players,” Guerra said. “Play hard, play smart, and give the ball to the guys who can score.”
He recorded three of the top 10 single-season assists totals in program history, with 289 in 1975-76 (third best), 189 in 1974-75 (eighth) and 169 in 1972-73 (tied for ninth). Guerra holds the Broncs' single-game record for free throws made with 19 at Texas A&I (1/18/75). He also had an 18 free throw game vs. Baptist (2/1/75).
A native of Roma, Guerra was the starting point guard all four years and led the Broncs to winning records three times, including 22 and 20 wins each of his last two seasons. Today, he is the superintendent at Roma ISD.
“I'm extremely humbled and honored to be part of this group,” Guerra said.
