Another day, another huge District 13-5A matchup on tap for both the Temple boys and girls basketball teams. Standing in their path is a Georgetown program whose teams both carry rankings in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Class 5A polls. The ninth-ranked Eagles (22-2, 1-0 in district) invade Wildcat Gym today for a 7:30 p.m. tilt with the 12th-ranked Wildcats (19-3, 1-0) while the No. 16 Lady Eagles (17-7, 2-1) and Tem-Cats (6-12, 1-2) tip off at the same time in Georgetown. For the Wildcats, tonight's pairing of state powers is a showdown of immense proportions. Temple coach Bruce Etheridge said a Wildcats' win over Georgetown would not only give his team a leg up in the district race, but would be invaluable in terms of gaining early momentum. "There's a lot riding on this game," Etheridge said. "We feel like the winner may be able to set the tone for the first half of district play. Georgetown has a really good team with a lot of weapons, so we hope to have a huge home crowd to boost us. It's going to be a fun night." by Tom Day
