COACHES' COMMENTS: Mount Pleasant's Corey Homer was unavailable for comment.
Texas High's Gerry Stanford-"Mount Pleasant has a really big offensive line, a young running back who's been putting up a lot of yardage, and some receivers who pose threats to anyone just because of their athleticism and size. We'll have to try to contain the run game and play well in the secondary. Defensively, they give you a lot of different looks, and being able to pick up on what they're trying to do is key. Their secondary is very talented, and finding the right way to attack those guys will be challenge for us, to say the least."
