Waynesboro native and 4th year Mt. Pleasant Tigers head coach Bronson Bradley is getting his team ready for one of their biggest, most important matchups in a long time. The undefeated Tigers are ready to take on the red hot 1A TSSAA State Runners-Up Cornersville Bulldogs. The Bulldogs come into this matchup undefeated at 4-0 as well which makes this one of our “Games of the Week” in Middle Tennessee.
Coach Bradley and his staff are coming off of a great 7-3 season in 2017 but failed to make the playoffs due to all three losses being in the region. Expectations for the Tigers have been high ever since Coach Bradley’s first season in 2014. That year the Tigers went to the 3rd round of the TSSAA Playoffs. This year all of the MPHS faithful are looking for another deep run into the playoffs and it starts this week with the Bulldogs.
We stopped in to visit the Tigers and watch a practice to see what the environment is like. The players were focused and dead set on learning all they could from the staff about this year’s Cornersville Bulldogs. We at D1 Highlights have known how intense Coach Randolph and the Bulldogs can be therefore we felt the need to check out the Tigers before this matchup!
Through the first four games of the season here are the Tigers stat leaders:
Rushing: Zyshon Alderson: 63 carries 610 yards 7 Touchdowns.
Receiving: Keshawn Hudson: 17 receptions 381 yards 6 Touchdown receptions.
