  1. Getting excited for this matchup Friday. I have not seen either team scrimmage so having a blind start of sorts. I have heard Pitt is returning to the spread and has a pretty tough RB coming back if memory serves me right but not sure what else they have returning. MP returning a few including a pretty good QB. This is the second year of the new system MP installed so hoping to see offensive improvement especially in the scoring department. I expect a sold out stadium in Pittsburg and should be a very good game. Is it Friday yet??

  2. MP runs the spread. The Tiger defense gave up a couple big plays against SS and then the turnover bug bit the Tigers late in the game including a pick 6 to seal the W for SS. Overall the defense is decent. Oline hasn’t jelled yet and is a work in progress. New system is showing signs of being good but lacking consistency. Haven’t seen LE lately but seems like they are rolling along pretty well. I expect a good game and hard fought battle by both teams

  3. Should be a good game. I'm excited to see the stadium/field improvements that were done a year or two ago. With both teams getting adjusted to new coaching staffs and systems I expect both will have some kinks worked out after game 1 wins. It is never easy to roll into SS and get a win.

    Mount Pleasant has not clinched yet by my calculations.  A MP loss with a Nacogdoches and Hallsville win will leave the Tigers at the house. Not saying all three of those are likely, but in this District, who knows??? Jacksonville's 49-20 win over Hallsville is odd to me. AND, for those of us who have followed the MP Tigers all season, anything can happen and I mean anything.  One of the strangest high school football seasons I have witnessed.

    I agree with you on this season. GO TIGERS!

    I don't understand either. When I was there we never considered you a rival. Paris and SS was our biggest rival. Maybe Dfield and Pitt in the mid-90s.

    Not sure when everything started but 1970's 80's and early 90's was Daingerfield, Pittsburg, and Paris. SS considered us a rivalry but we did not until late 1980's. Pitt/MP last game was 1993 I think. Daingerfield rivalry seemed to start dying off after Coach Alexander left for Henderson in 1989. Thats how I remember it any way lol.

    2013.  Daingerfield vs New Boston playoff in Mt. Pleasant.  Windchill had to have been close to 0 F. 

    I was planning to attend that game. Way to cold for me not having a cat in that fight. I drove through the parking lot and about froze just watching everyone shiver! And yes the wind chill was in the low single digits best I remember.

  7. Last year this was a shootout. MP has a better defense this year against the run and hopefully learned a lot against the pass last week. Not sure MP offense can score as well as last year though at this point. Really hoping for a good game though. Pine Tree will be a huge challenge for the Tigers for sure. Good luck to both teams and PT Pirates travel safely to MP! GO TIGERS!!!

    You are exactly right. Theres enough guys in the school too to get that depth. They just dont want to play football. They need a coach that can get the boys out there to play. This coach is a good coach but if hes not winning, he wont get them out to play. MP has become a soccer school unlike the football school it was in the 90s. Hopefully it will be back to prominence like it once was and competing year in and year out for a district championship. 

    Not sure the numbers will get better without winning first. I like what our coach is doing on both sides of the ball. Like Mavchamp said we just play so many both ways we run out of gas early. 

  9. MP is very young this year. We are gaining experience with every game and that will help in the future  for sure. MP run defense has looked pretty good so far this year except when Paris wore them down in the second half. Pass defense is a work in progress as is the O-line. I hope for improvement as the season goes along. I think we have something like 3 SR's starting.

  10. It seems both teams are improved from last year. Paris is always fast and word I have heard they are loaded with lots of it again this year. MP has some speed as well. Paris has switched to a run based offense that can eat the clock and limit possessions keeping their defense (which is already fast) fresher. Depth numbers will play against MP this week as it does most every game. If MP can keep the offense going then this might be a good game if not it will be ugly in a hurry. Not being negative about my Tigers just we have not faced an opponent with this kind of talent yet this year.
