sportsThe stakes were raised when the 12th-ranked Temple Wildcats and Copperas Cove Bulldogs met for their District 13-5A opener Friday night. And both teams rose to the occasion. Matching the scrappy Bulldogs' intense effort with a gritty stand of their own, it was the Wildcats that came up with the big plays down the stretch to pull out a thrilling 59-57 victory at Wildcat Gym. Post Matt Williams poured in 29 points for Temple (19-3, 1-0 in district), including a slashing lay-up with 5.4 seconds remaining in the contest to break a 57-57 tie. The play capped a closing 12-4 Temple run that erased a six-point deficit over the final 2:59. Wildcats point guard David President scored eight points over that span and forward Quinton White drew a key offensive foul on Cove's Travis Boyce with 55.1 seconds remaining to help keep the Bulldogs (18-6, 0-1) at bay. by Tom Day
After the Tem-Cats' 3-1 loss to Nacogdoches in their first game of the sixth annual Temple Tournament Friday afternoon at the Korompai Soccer Complex, Temple soccer coach Kevin Korompai was not very happy.But those frustrations turned into cheers and jubilations Friday night as the Tem-Cats (2-3) cruised to an easy 5-0 victory over Corsicana at Woodson Field.Against Corsicana, Temple got two first-half goals from junior forward Megan Richardson, and the Tem-Cats exploded for three quick goals in the second half to put the game out of reach. On Richardson's first goal came on an assist from sophomore forward Melisse Buland. Her second came after she took a steal from deep in Corsicana territory, traveled upfield, and rocketed a shot into goal for the score. The Tem-Cats didn't rest comfortably on a 2-0 lead as senior midfielder Renee Owens scored Temple's third goal less than five minutes into second half. by Robert Hollier
Tune-up time is over for the Temple College basketball teams, who now need to reach full speed in a hurry. That's because Weatherford College's Coyotes and Lady Coyotes will come to town today hungry to beat TC and back up their reputation as the preseason favorites to finish first in the Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference. A Lady Leopards victory would halt the Lady Coyotes' 11-game winning streak; a win by Weatherford's men would snap the Leopards' 11-game string of victories The sixth annual Wildcat Winter Classic swimming and diving meet returns to the Hardin Swim Center today and according to Temple coach Terry Jones, it should be a treat for aquatic sports aficionados. "In my opinion, with this meet here, I don't think there's a better meet in the state, as far as the energy and we make it fun for the kids," Jones said. "It's always been a great meet. We've got some outstanding competitors." The preliminaries for the nine-team field begin at 9 a.m., with the finals scheduled to start at 5 p.m. As has been the custom over the years, the field features some of the stronger squads in the Central Texas area.
