Streaking TC men set to begin again
Published: January 4, 2001
The Temple College men's basketball team has beaten every team it has played this season. Leopards coach Kirby Johnson expects that streak to continue when TC battles Lackland Air Force Base today at 7 p.m. in San Antonio.The Leopards will return to San Antonio on Monday to take on Fort Sam Houston at 5 p.m. before returning to Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference play on Wednesday in Terrell against Southwestern Christian College.The Leopards were red-hot as they closed the fall semester with eight straight wins to improve to 11-2 overall and 2-0 in the NTJCAC.In the first two weeks of the season, Johnson's squad lost road games at highly ranked Trinity Valley Community College and Cedar Valley Community College. But when those teams came to TC Gym, the Leopards prevailed over both.Now, after a four-week break since they beat Ranger College at home, the Leopards will be trying to get back into shape and sharpen their skills in their next two non-conference outings. by Greg Wille
