"I think I just had a gift for teaching and wanted to make a difference in young people's lives," said Temple High School sophomore principal Randy Carder.Recently, Carder was named the 2001 Region 12 Assistant Principal of the Year."It's a great honor. I was really pleased to receive it because I got into this so that I could more positively effect the students."Carder, who began his career in education as a special education teacher, has been with the Temple school district as an educator and administrator for nearly 12 years."I've taken many career paths over the years, and I decided around the age of 33 to make a difference in the education field," Carder said.Carder has also served as principal at Meridith-Dunbar Elementary School and for three years was assistant principal at Bonham Middle School."He always treats us fairly, showing no partiality or any prejudice," said Betty Anderson, an English teacher at Bonham. "As a teacher, I have also learned to trust him with the knowledge that he will respect my privacy and will just listen if that's what I need."I learned that whatever decision he made regarding a student was made because Mr. Carder felt it was the one that would help the student the most," Mrs. Anderson said. by Nicole Edwards | |
sportsThe Temple boys soccer team certainly had its chances Tuesday night at Woodson Field, but just couldn't come through in the end.While the Wildcats outshot the Longview Lobos 18-5, it was a goal by Longview forward Ivan Valle with 15:43 remaining in the second half that sealed the 1-0 victory in the season opener for both squads.After a free kick by Temple, Valle gained control of the ball at midfield and raced past four Wildcat defenders.Within scoring range, Valle faked to the right and then right footed the ball into the left corner of the goal past a diving Will Meek As has been the case in the majority of its games this season, the Temple girls basketball team got off to another quick start on Tuesday night.This time though, the Tem-Cats closed the deal.Playing one of its most complete games of the season, a much more confident and aggressive Temple squad kept the heat on cold-shooting Killeen through four quarters.The Tem-Cats forced 30 Lady Roos turnovers and sank 16 of 24 free throws en route to a dominating 50-36 victory at Wildcat Gym.Azzie Knox paced Temple (6-11, 1-1 in District 13-5A) with 13 points while Courtney Crews and Shaquinta Hamilton added 11 and 10, respectively.Having watched her youthful team struggle to losses after seizing the early momentum in several other games this season, Temple coach Susan Brown said the Tem-Cats are finally developing team chemistry and confidence in one another.And it's making a difference. by Tom Day
