I'm a coach's wife, telling a story the best I know how. It's important and I want to get it right! Jump on the train quick for the Temple Wildcats are gathering steam! Their destination is unknown but their desire is for greatness. Prayerfully join us as God unfolds a new chapter. They've all been good but I won't be surprised if He's saved the best for last!

Getting to know you....!

Temple Texas is wonderful place full of the friendliest people! Everywhere we go we get the opportunity to meet more and more of you. Here is what I have learned so far. Many of you Wildcats grew up here in Temple. You graduated from THS and so did your parents, your spouse. Your children either did, will are want to! You are very proud of theTemple, the Wildcats and "bleed blue"! :) Your loyalty is touching. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Your generosity, unmatched. And though we've just begun our life in Temple, your warm welcome has made us eager to know you all!



To speed things along I'd like to introduce our family. Above is Coach and I (Roxanne).




Our story goes way back in the 8th grade, when Coach gave me his I.D. bracelet. It was love at first site! Over the next 9 years we grew up and became best friends.



He played football at Dallas Carter and the University of Houston. I cheered him on!

Our wedding day, planned a year in advance, around a possible SWC Championship and a debut appearance on January 1st, in the Cotton Bowl Classic, finally arrived! On January 8th 1977 we joined our hands and hearts, and ran confidently into our future. Life has been full of ups and downs, twists and turns but we love our story! It's been quite an adventure.


We thank God continually, for His goodness. He has won our hearts and our trust. He is our Champion! We are grateful for His presence. Dependent on His direction...it is why we are here in Temple! After all these years, He, is why we're still 'going steady'!

Here is Coach, and me.... I like to paint!

We have two little schnauzers, Mitzi and Abbey (pictured).
