The Temple Baptist Christian School basketball team opened their season on Thursday night in Cleveland, Tennessee at the Shenandoah Baptist Academy tournament.  A furious 4th quarter rally was not enough to get the win.  The Eagles fell 46 to 36 to Calvery out of Kingston , TN.

Trailing 43 to 14 entering the final period, the Eagles erupted for 22 points led by Cody Swayze who had 15 points, including 7 free throws.  Swayze finished with 25 points.  Alex Gloden added 7 points and Mich Gloden scored 4.

Temple will be back in action on Friday when they take on Philadelphia Baptist Academy out of Calhoun, GA.  That game will tip off at 11:20 AM EST.  The tournament concludes on Saturday.
