There's no place like home for Mt. Pleasant, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Monday. They simply couldn't be stopped on Saturday as they easily beat the Cascade Champions 78-45. The Tigers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won ten matchups by 21 points or more this season.

Mt. Pleasant's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Jakyri McClure, who dropped a double-double with 25 points and ten boards. The team also got some help courtesy of Micah Dale, who went 6-for-11 to rack up 20 points.

Mt. Pleasant is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-8 record this season. This is the second loss in a row for Cascade and nudges their season record down to 15-12.

Coming up, a feisty cat fight will be fought as the Tigers face off against the Lions at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Cascade does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
