2012 Wildcat Football Banquet

Tonight is the 2012 Temple Wildcat Football Banquet. Everything is set and ready to go. Thanks to all the amazing Quarterback Club! What an enthusiastic, tireless group of ‘true blue’ & white supporters! It’s one of many things that make Temple, Texas special. This close-knit community is excited about their “Wildcats” and the Football Banquet, is steeped in rich tradition. With a lot of team work, just look at what they have put together for tonight. The kids will love it!

The coaches table displays old photos of the Wildcat football coaches.

Every year the cheerleaders paint a huge sign and hang it on this wall. Next football season, they will hold it up for the team to run through.


The Wildcat Wall od Fame!
The football players, cheerleaders, trainers, filmer’s and coaches pictures are spread all over town but tonight they’re all under one roof. At the end of the banquet, everyone takes them home.

Another tradition. Never forget:

The best programs ever!


Celebrating the 2012 Temple Wildcats!
Coaches, Trainers, Filmers and Cheerleaders:

And don’t forget the pillow cases! Aren’t they fun? Every year these thoughtful girls make one of these for every player and coach. I’m impressed and so touched by this gesture.


Oh! We can’t forget the Fat Boys BBQ and the famous Ye Old English Bakery cake table!

It’s going to be a great night!

THS Wildcats 55 - Killeen Ellison 48

 

 

 Friday night, under the lights of Leo Buckley Stadium, it was a battle. The Wildcats

got off to a slow start and struggled to gain momentum. In short, they scored, then we scored all night long. Confident we'd iron it out and win in the end, I paniced at the end of the 4th quarter when I looked at the score board and saw it was 48 - 48 with 16 seconds left in the game. Yikes! That's way to close for comfort but apparently that's the way these Cats like to play. So I guess I better get use to it! This is one tough district we're playing in and it's far from over. Which makes for some pretty good football games. Just the way we like in Texas. What better way to spend a Friday Night! The Temple Wildcats are alive and kicking in district 8-5A! Setting offensive records week after week. Say a prayer for our hardworking defense as they continue to establish themselves into an effective powerhouse.

In the end the Wildcats pulled off a WIN, making us 3-1 in District play. I love this team and all they are trying to do. I hope you'll join me in cheering them onto victory by seeing the best in them. Encouraging them for all the good things they  have done and are doing. That will give them space and grace to work things out. Know one wants it more than the team. No one has infested more than them. It's year to play and our turn to watch. Let's stand up proud and make some noise so they can hear us!   

TEMPLE WILDCATS - 50 BELTON TIGERS - 44

Friday night, after battling under the lights in a sold out crowd at Wildcat Stadium, the BIG BLUE THS WILDCATS edged out the Belton Tigers in a 50 to 44 win. Earning again for the second cosecutive year, Bell County bragging rights. This exciting game was enough to make our fans roar! Now makes the CATS 2-1 in District play. Congratulations to the entire staff and team! You work, prepare and play with a lot og heart!

Panther Attack! Waco Midway - 62 vs. THS - 20 :(

The Wildcats held their own in the first half on the game and hit the locker rooms with the score 21 – 20, Waco Midway.
It’s during halftime when the Big BLUE typically make crucial adjustments and seal the deal in the second half. However, that was not the case last night. The remainder of the game can beside be described in two words. PANTHER ATTACK.


Obviously, Waco Midway is good. They played Lake Travis in the State Championship Game, last December. They, like South Lake Carroll, are the kind of team the Wildcats are working hard to be.
We've still got a lot of work to do!

Last night was painful and ugly. This morning it still is...


It’s a good day to encourage a wildcat.
