That was the day the Leopards and Lady Leopards went to Hillsboro, got outplayed by Hill College, and came home with a pair of losses early in Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference play. Today at TC Gym, they finally get to seek revenge. For the Leopards of Coach Kirby Johnson, today's game is meaningful in many ways. Bill Elliott led the first nine laps of his qualifying race for the Daytona 500, then virtually disappeared. Ask the rivals from Ford, Chevrolet and Pontiac, and they'll give a knowing smile and nod.
Nobody is really all that surprised, though.
