The Temple High School Tem-Cat Junior Varsity basketball team remained undefeated on the season Saturday afternoon, rolling past Elgin 49-11 in the championship game of the Austin Crockett Tournament. With the decisive victory, Temple finished the tournament with a 3-0 record and improved to 5-0 overall.

Temple set the tone early with suffocating defense and balanced scoring, jumping out to a 13-3 lead in the first quarter behind six points from Kyleigh Juarez. The Tem-Cats tightened their grip in the second frame, pitching a 12-0 shutout to take a commanding 25-3 advantage into halftime as Juarez and Ava Anderson each chipped in four points.

Elgin found its best offensive rhythm of the afternoon in the third quarter with six points, but Temple stayed firmly in control. Juarez added five more points—including a three-pointer—and Jazale Mose knocked down a three-pointer of her own to push the lead to 35-9. Temple closed out the title game with a 14-2 fourth-quarter surge, paced by five points from Meghan Jackson alongside four points apiece from Juarez and Anderson.

Following the tournament, Tem-Cat guards Kyleigh Juarez and Jazale Mose were both named to the All-Tournament team for their standout play throughout the weekend.

Juarez led all scorers in the championship matchup with 19 points, while Mose joined her in double figures with 10 points. Meghan Jackson finished with five points, and both Lyric Lott and Ava Anderson contributed four points each. LaTearra Rivers added three points, while Jaelyne Bass and Elysia Cortez rounded out the Temple scoring with two points apiece.

After the win, Head Coach Taylor Sims praised the squad's chemistry and collective energy. "This group of young ladies has built a TEAM bond that was on full display as they cheered and encouraged each other throughout the tournament," Sims said. "If we continue to develop individually and grow as ONE then there is no telling what we can achieve."

The Tem-Cats will look to carry their momentum into next week when they return to action on November 19 and November 21 at the Georgetown East View Patriot Classic, with opponents and game times still to be announced.
