The Mount Pleasant Tiger basketball team is still waiting to regain full strength after the football season is over but the core players are still revving up and preparing for a season that is about to get underway. The Tigers traveled to Tyler Chapel Hill last Saturday to compete in their first scrimmage against the host school and Nacogdoches.

Mount Pleasant won each segment as they played 15 min running clock sessions against each team along with a live quarter and a few situational scenarios. Elijah Morris led the way putting up 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists on the day. He also connected on 2 of 6 three points shots. Payton Chism followed up with 12 points on 6 of 9 shooting to go along with 3 assists. Kelcey Morris had a solid showing adding 8 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 steals. Other scorers were Luke Hampton 6 points, Kai Price 5 points (including his first career dunk), Reggie Webster 4 points, Xavier Hills 2 points, and De’Keivous Heath 2 points.

The Tigers will compete in one more scrimmage on Tuesday at Martin’s Mill before their first game at home on Friday, November 19.
