Girls or Boys?
If it's the girls, they play Henderson at 7 p.m. Monday at Pine Tree. MP had a first-round bye while Henderson rallied to beat Chapel Hill 3-1.

Sorry, can't help you there.
I know Pine Tree (boys) play at Texas High. Not sure about Longview, Kilgore or Marshall.

If I'm not mistaken the one at Longview was just a scrimmage. Am I right?

Except that most Pitt people dislike MP. I suspect that we will have several Pitt people on the Longview side tonight.

How do you reckon its home field advantage for mp? Longview played at Pitt this year as well. So mp played one more time than Longview. Last I heard after the brawl between Pitt and MP the Pitt fans will be cheering on Longview.

i was leaning more on the fact that its a ten minute drive for MP fans opposed to the 40 minutes for lobo fans...

Not being familiar with Pittsburgh(texas), do they have grass or artificial turf. (at the stadium where MP and Longview are going to play tonite) Is it real or memorex? Sun has already come out in Dallas, so hopefully weather won't cancel the game.

Pitt n mp are rivals due to how close they live to each other. However I think it is going to be alot like brothers. They might get into it but when someone else messes with your brother your not having it. Point of the post- I think pitt will support mp and their District!

It's artificial. Last time we played there, someone had a skin reation to something they sprayed on it. Someone said it was for spider control?>?
Nice Field!

I think you're right. I asked some one if they still thought Longview would beat Mount Pleasant, and he said "No, I know they will."
I don't think he's right, I have not seen Longview varsity play, but if they beat Mount Pleasant, they will have to earn it. If they have size like Pine Tree, they may just be physical enough to do it.

Disagree. While the Pilgrim Pride factor makes the Pitt/MP game intense, the Pitt players were cheering for MP against Texas High. Part of that was they needed MP to win, but I think there is a bond.

Lobos lose 2-0 in a hard fought battle....MP was much improved since the beginning of the season and stand a very good chance of taking down Lindale.

Lindale @ Pinetree stadium. Congrats Mt.Pleasant. Nice Rivalry between Longview and Mt.P. Good luck next round.

Refer to the UIL website for playoff results and future matchups:

This will be a very good game, both teams have improved tremendously since their last encounter. Good Luck to both teams!

I think that this will be a great game. I would expect cards to be a flying left and right. Both teams have
a couple of hot heads, MP definately has more but could be one of the better playoff games this year.

How good are the Mount Pleasant Girls? I have seen Lindale but not MP this year.

Mar 26 2009, 12:45 AM
this is the first time in 3 years i have not been able to keep a very good watch on MP soccer team...mostly due to work. but with the exception of the '06 season, this is the first time mp has moved past the first round in awhile, i do believe.
from what you see right now, you can only expect more in the upcoming seasons...i believe there are only 3 seniors on this tiger team...many sophomores and a couple of freshman that i know of...so this is certainly not one of those "if not this year, then never" type situations...i am thinking mp has what it takes to beat lindale, but from what i hear, they will have to come with their guns loaded, ready to fire to do so.

Girls have improved since Mayfield has started helping with the team, but I think Lindale fairly easily in this game.

Should be a good game. Both teams won their district, and Mt. Pleasant beat Lindale earlier in the year 3-1 (Longview Tournament). Both teams will do their best. Hope for decent weather and a clean, fair match.
