After penetrating the top ten in the rankings, the Tigers wasted no time in solidifying their #10 rank in the state with a convincing 20+ victory over district opponent Hallsville.\u00a0 The win over the Bobcats pushed Mount Pleasant to a 2-0 record in the district and their overall record remains unblemished at 21-0.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The Tigers put it on early making the Bobcats scramble as they held Hallsville to a measly 2 points in the first quarter.\u00a0 Hallsville mustered up an 11:6 turnover to shot ratio in the quarter as the Tiger defense was relentless with pressure and shot contesting.\u00a0 Mount Pleasant led 13-2 after the first frame and continued the onslaught in the second.\u00a0 A 15-2 run to start the quarter put Mount Pleasant in the driver’s seat for good as they pulled away for a 36-7 lead at the break.\u00a0 Hallsville came out firing in the second half, but it was too little too late as their 31 turnovers were too much to overcome.<\/h3>\n

Kelcey Morris led all scorers with 16 points and thieved a game high 5 steals.\u00a0 Kai Price poured in 12 points to go along with 5 rebounds.\u00a0 The trio of Xavier Hills, Reggie Webster, and Carter Chism each added 8 points and Kyler Smith chipped in 4 points.\u00a0 Payton Chism added in 2 points and a game high 6 assists.<\/h3>\n
