sportsAfter wading through last week's rumors and speculation about the future destinations (and changing minds) of Temple's two Division I football prospects, it's at least nice to report on some folks who know where they're going. Bartlett's Dee Monfort, a tight end-defensive end, will sign with Iowa State when national signing day rolls around on Wednesday, said former Bulldogs coach Craig Agnew, who rang with the good news Saturday night. The 6-4, 240-pounder gets a guaranteed scholarship, said the coach, adding that Monfort visited Ames in mid-January and "liked it a lot. He's pretty excited about it." Monfort is the second area kid from a Class A or 2A school to pledge to a Big 12 school. Jarrell's Jontue Fears-Hayes plans to sign with Baylor on Wednesday, the day non-binding oral commitments become official. Monfort becomes the latest in a long line of former Bulldogs headed to college. Agnew, for one, thinks making the jump from Class A to Division I-AA or Big 12 doesn't matter Both of Temple College's basketball teams had something to prove against perennial rival McLennan Community College on Saturday at TC Gym. The Lady Leopards wanted to prove they could beat an MCC squad that edged them 62-60 in Waco on Dec. 6 in the teams' Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference opener. The Leopards wanted to prove that their 97-86 conference-opening win at MCC that same night wasn't a fluke. They did, and they did. TC's women stormed back from an eight-point halftime deficit with a brilliant second half to record a 72-51 victory and get back into the race for one of the NTJCAC's four playoff berths. Later, TC's men seized the advantage early against MCC and held off the stubborn Highlanders in the second half to post an 87-75 win and remain in second place in the NTJCAC. by Greg Wille
