Mount Pleasant couldn’t get anything going on Friday night as they lost their first district game to Texas High in three years. The Tigers of Texarkana beat the black and gold Tigers in almost every aspect of the game as you could tell they were hungry to steal a win from one of the most dominant teams in the state. Mount Pleasant struggled to get anything to fall with their second lowest scoring output of the season.

Text The Mount Pleasant Tigers traveled to Franklin over the Christmas holidays to compete in the Franklin Christmas Invitational Dec 27-29 and came away with three wins and a fifthplace finish over the three days. The Tigers were originally scheduled to travel to Louisiana for a tournament, but scheduling conflicts did not allow that trip to happen. To make matters more challenging, several players and head coach Joey Chism had to stay behind due to health and safety protocols.
