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!

Wildcat Football Banquet

IMG_4399IMG_4400IMG_4404IMG_4403




Last Thursday, the nicest thing happened. Over 500 athletes, cheerleaders, student




trainers and filmers, Kittens, THS administration and faculty, students, coaches,




parents, families, friends and Wildcat alumni gathered at the Mayborn Center




to celebrate the 2011 football season. It was definitely a year to remember!

During the past year so many good things happened. Which resulted in many people




rallying to support and encourage student athletes at THS. The struggling football




program ‘jumped on a fast train’ and began to rebuild a championship program.

Teamed with an excellent school board, administration, faculty, staff and coaches,




the 2011 Wildcat football team went to work! Coaches and players alike embraced




the challenge ahead. With commitment and determination they built a power house.




Along the way they became a family. Their hard work paid off. They learned




things they will never forget. The 2011 ‘blue front, white back’ Wildcat’s changed




everything.

An inspiring highlight video of the season was the perfect way to end the night and




when the lights came back on the 2011 Wildcats touched us all by doing something




they’ve done countless times before…..they clapped. Loud and proud in




perfect unison.
