MOUNT PLEASANT â For a small-town football team like the Mount Pleasant Tigers, the name on the front of the jersey means everything.

Thereâs 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 âPeanutâ Honeycutt, for example, makes a big play, heâs 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.
“That’s Curry! That’s Curry!” one kid yelled after Joshua Morris shot a long 3.
Curry put on a 3-point spectacle in Philly worthy of the trooper’s own effort.
Curry hit 10 3-pointers and scored 49 points to extend his sizzling stretch, leading the Golden State Warriors to a 107-96 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.
Morris later gifted the kid on the video he called him his “hype man” a pair of Curry’s basketball sneakers. The video caught Curry’s attention and he invited Morris and guests to the game. Curry posed for pictures after the game and walked back to the locker room without a shirt.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Stephen Curry hit 10 3-pointers and scored 49 points to extend his sizzling stretch, leading the Golden State Warriors to a 107-96 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.
Curry’s 3 that tied the game at 86-all gave him 11 straight games with 30 or more points, topping Kobe Bryant for the most by any player 33 or older. Curry, who turned 33 last month, also has the longest 30-point game streak by a Warriors player since Wilt Chamberlain in 1964.
Curry had his fifth 40-point game in April and topped Bryant and Michael Jordan for most 40-point games in a month by a player 33 or older.
