KILLEEN — Playing its District 12-6A finale Thursday night at Leo Buckley Stadium, Temple didn’t want to rely on help elsewhere to capture its second straight playoff berth.

In last Thursday's regular-season finale at Killeen's Leo Buckley Stadium, a 14-7 halftime lead for Temple turned into a 24-14 loss against District 12-6A champion Harker Heights.

Brion Williams and Xavier Wilson have more in common than being Temple seniors who are skilled at playing the free safety position for the Wildcats defense.

SAN ANTONIO — Five minutes before halftime, Salado senior quarterback Devonte Foster dashed off left tackle for an 11-yard touchdown run to give the Eagles a 14-7 lead against Rockport-Fulton.

Temple senior safety Jason Bradford was verbally committed to play at TCU for 5½ months before he made it official Wednesday by signing with the Horned Frogs.

If conference losses are frustrating in general, then losing two consecutive league games at home by one-run margins qualifies as downright agonizing.

Last Saturday, Temple College earned two vital road wins at Cisco to split a four-game series and build momentum in the Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference.

At Temple's annual Blue-White spring game Wednesday evening, the cool, blustery, overcast weather at Wildcat Stadium made it feel more like late October than early May.
