Torre Tempel was very impressive on the football field and basketball court for the Butte High Bulldogs.
Bulldog basketball coach Matt Luedtke calls Toree “the epitome of Butte High basketball.”
Torre led the Bulldogs with 39 made 3-pointers this season, but that only begins to describe his game. He was just tough.
He was the same way playing cornerback for the Bulldogs. Torre Tempel will long be remembered for his toughness.
That is why it is not surprising to learn that Torre is going to take his talents the U.S. Army. There, he will strive to become an Army Ranger.
Serving his country is something he wanted to do since he met Rob O’Neill at a young age. Rob, of course, is the Butte Central graduate who shot and killed Osama bin Laden and wrote the best-selling book, “The Operator.”
Torre isn’t pursing the fame that followed Rob after firing those three famous shots. He is simply focused on turning himself into the best person possible.
It is something Torre has been doing since he found himself on the B team for Team UpTop when he was in the eighth grade.
