Belton Tigers

Citing COVID-19 cases and quarantines, the Belton ISD Athletic Department has postponed Friday's varsity football game against the Harker Heights Knights.

Friday night's Leon River Rivalry game will go down as the highest scoring and one of the most exciting in the history of the Belton-Temple series.

After a tense first half, Belton was able to get four touchdowns in the second to pull away from Shoemaker and take the win.

The Tigers posted 27 points in the first quarter and scored 41 points in the first half to roll over the Knights 48-14.

Oscar Bersoza is no stranger to Central Texas athletics, and now aims to take the Belton Lady Tigers soccer team to new heights.

Now in the second year of its most recent revival, the Temple-Belton football rivalry is a legend that dates all the way back to the 1880’s.

Earlier this morning, Belton head football coach of three seasons, Bob Shipley, announced that this will be his final season before retiring as head coach.
