Agreed! Ish was a phenomenal player. I think Jeremy Sexton scored 30 in that game and Ish scored 27. Ish was lights out from beyond the arc. Temple played an exciting game tonight against Soddy Daisy. I think they won by somewhere around twenty five points. The girls also played an excellent game!

I think you will be surprised at Temple's depth off the bench this year. The coach made some significant investments last year in his players and now seems to be reaping the rewards. I have watched the bench come on the floor and hold their own at both ends of the court. It is way too early to be guessing at how good everyone is or isn't but it does look to be an exciting year for everyone in district 5A. By the way, Temple put 100 on 21st Century tonight...

dadoffour is an Ooltewah fan now. Temple has had some talk of eventually having a varsity football team again...

It is early yet but judging from the scrimmages and HOF games, they are very good. They have dominated all their scrimmage games and lost a close HOF game to Walker Valley this past Thursday, 96-92. Walker Valley seemed to be a very good team and made very few mistakes. Other than one senior who graduated last year, Temple's team is pretty much the same as last year, just bigger, stronger, faster, and more dangerous. During the game with Walker Valley, Temple outscored WV in each of the last three quarters and shot 16 threes compared to WV's 12 - at least that is what the paper reported. I think Brandon Andrews had 6 threes. The most amazing thing to me about the game was watching Temple come back from a large defecit to make it a close game and that with having to foul in the last two minutes and their best scorer on the bench for almost all the second half of the game. Our guys have shown a ton of grit and toughness on the court.
