Despite Temple College's 43-13 season record, including a first-place 31-5 mark in Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference softball competition, the Lady Leopards are still trying to earn respect.TC, seeded No. 1 at the Region V Junior College tournament, will be seeking that respect at the event, which begins today and runs through Saturday at Abilene Christian University. The Lady Leopards' first step will be defeating Grayson in today's 3:45 p.m. game. The winner will face the winner between Howard and McLennan at 3:45 p.m. Friday. The losers will meet at 11:15 a.m. Friday.With all that's happened to the Lady Leopards this year, it wouldn't seem as if the tournament would be about earning respect. However, they see themselves as the Rodney Dangerfields of the conference, whose coaches barely recognized them on the all-conference list that was released Tuesday. by Marcus Hood
