Westerners Edge Leopards in High-Scoring Junior College Affair

SNYDER, Texas (Interstat) — The Western Texas Westerners outlasted the Temple Leopards 82-80 in a men’s junior college basketball game Friday. Both offenses erupted in a first half that ended with Western Texas leading 82-80, a score that held through a defensive second half where neither team managed a point. The result extended Temple’s winless start to the season to 0-5, while Western Texas evened its overall record at 4-5. The game defied a Interstat projection that forecast a tie, though its ELO system had favored the Westerners with a 65 percent win probability.
