The Temple Wildcats made the rest of the state of Texas pay attention after routing favorites Port Arthur Memorial 39-7 on Saturday in the Regional Semifinal of Class 5A Division I playoffs. After Port Arthur took the lead 7-0 in the first, the Wildcat defense completely clamped down - forcing two safeties and a kick return TD - allowing the Temple to score 39 UNANSWERED points.

The Wildcats next face Marvel at AT&T Stadium in Arlington this Saturday at 9 p.m.

Though we do not have defensive statistics available, the Wildcats' defense arguably played its best game in recent history - shutting down a team that averages over 40 points per game. Plus, when was the last time you've seen a high school football team force two safeties in one game!?

Let's also brag about her first year head coach Scott Stewart who set a record 10 wins in his first Wildcats season. Only three other coaches had nine-victory debuts.

The Wildcats will face undefeated Marvel in the Regional Finals this Saturday, December 3 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. There are only 8 teams left vying for the State Championship - and Temple is one of them. Temple will be the home team and Wildcat fans will sit on the North side of the stadium.
