MOUNT PLEASANT â The path to perfection in high school football has never been easy.
Add a once-in-a-century global pandemic, and that task becomes even more difficult.
Yet the Mount Pleasant Tigers won each of their seven regular-season games, securing the Rocky River 2A Conference championship with a 19-13 win over West Stanly Friday night at Larry Honeycutt Stadium at Tiger Stadium.
For the Tigers, the pandemic-related challenges have included regular COVID-19 testing, contact tracing protocols, social-distancing mandates, constant uncertainty of whether they can play their next game, as well as the season being moved to the spring.
Beyond these challenges, they have also fought venue changes. Of their seven games, only two were played in their home stadium, as inclement weather forced two other âhomeâ games to be moved to Central Cabarrus.
