Football Preview: Lindale Eagles vs. Mt. Pleasant Tigers
The Lindale Eagles will head out to take on the Mt. Pleasant Tigers at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Mt. Pleasant took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Lindale, who comes in off a win.
Lindale is headed out to face Mt. Pleasant after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Lindale walked away with a 35-27 victory over Hallsville on Thursday. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 268th, while the Bobcats are ranked 549th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Mt. Pleasant had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell just short of Crandall by a score of 30-27.
Mt. Pleasant wouldn't let Crandall keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. Mt. Pleasant can thank A'Shad Smith and Nehemiah Savage for forcing all of them. Savage didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Lindale was able to grind out a solid win over Mt. Pleasant when the teams last played back in October of 2019, winning 41-28. The rematch might be a little tougher for Lindale since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
