BASKETBALL

The further west and north you go, the less likely there is a high school basketball game tonight.

They postponed the Mt Pleasant girl’s basketball game at Texas High tonight and tentatively scheduled it for Wednesday night. As a result, we will have a varsity girls’ game only starting at 5:00 pm.

They moved the Mount Pleasant junior high Tiger boy’s basketball game to Monday, Feb 6, instead of playing it Thursday, Jan 9. The game is still at Pine Tree.
