C. JEMAL HORTON MOUNT PLEASANT – For a small-town football team like the Mount Pleasant Tigers, the name on the front of the jersey means everything. C. JEMAL HORTON There’s a reason they call this place Tiger Town. Not that you see anything other than a number on the backs of most high school uniforms, but in the Mount Pleasants of the world, the surname of the person wearing the jersey also has considerable meaning. You can go through generations of football in this town of fewer than 1,800 (as of Thursday evening anyway), and many of the last names of the players sound familiar. When senior defensive back Layton “Peanut” Honeycutt, for example, makes a big play, he’s doing it on the shoulders of his father and big brothers, who also wore the Tiger uniform, and his late grandfather, for whom Larry Honeycutt Field is named.
