HIGH SCHOOL

FOOTBALL

We now know where. The Brownsboro Bears have a new head football coach and athletics director, and it is Rivercrest’s head football coach Lance Connot. The board approved the hiring Monday night. Connot has spent the last seven seasons as Rivercrest’s head football coach in Bogata. He was 53-26 in that span and took the Rebels to the playoffs in each of the last six seasons.

BASKETBALL

The Mount Pleasant High School Lady Tiger basketball team will face Jacksonville in the 1st round of the playoffs on Thursday, February 11, at Gladewater High School at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $4 for adults and $3 students, and you can purchase them at the door.

The Mount Pleasant Tiger basketball program continued to set records with a perfect 23-0 record at the end of district play last Friday. The Tigers traveled to Hallsville to finish up the regular season before turning things up for a deep playoff run. With the victory at Hallsville, Mount Pleasant improved to 12-0 in the district after securing the district championship last Tuesday at home versus Sulphur Spring.

Sunnyvale’s assistant coach Casey Reeves for the varsity girls’ basketball team two weeks ago celebrated “Senior Night.” Now he is in the hospital on a ventilator fighting for his life after getting COVID-19.
