Leopards beat UMHB JV
The Temple Daily Telegram reports that Temple college beat the University of Mary
Hardin-Baylor on Monday night at TC Gym. Guard Sam Mercedes and forward
Lawrence Ramsey each scored 16 points and guard Bennie Tate scored all 13 of his after
halftime as the Leopards beat UMHB 98-85 for their third straight win. Oliver led all
scorers with 29 points, and teammate Kelly Lewis, a freshman guard from Temple, had
19. TC (6-2) got 14 and 12 points from forwards Jermaine Green and Brandon
Washington, respectively. “Mary Hardin-Baylor came out and shot really well in the first
half,” said TC coach Kirby Johnson, whose team came back to beat 11th-ranked and
previously undefeated Trinity Valley Community College 96-92 at home Saturday night.
“Not to take anything away from them, but it was a little tough for us to get up for this
one tonight.” The Leopards will get seven days off before playing Brookhaven next
Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at TC Gym.
