Pleasant Plains never trails, beats South Fulton 61-26   December 28, 2006
Cardinals first appearance in the M-WHT is successful
The debut of the Pleasant Plains Cardinals was a successful one as Plains topped South Fulton 61-26 in the opening round of the Macomb-Western Holiday Tournament.

Pleasant Plains (9-1) led wire-to-wire and was led by David Bergschneider's 17 points while Evan Baietto chipped in with 16. South Fulton (4-5) was led by Luke Jones' five points.

The Cardinal defense held South Fulton to just 27.5% field goal shooting in the game including 3-of-23 (13%) in the second half.

Pleasant Plains will take on Monmouth-Roseville tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. in a winner's bracket quarterfinal. The Rebels slip to the losers' bracket where they will battle Brown County tomorrow morning at 9:00 in the first game of the day.

NOTES:

  • This game was never supposed to happen as Pleasant Plains signed on to the tourney to take South Fulton's spot. When Rock Falls opted to leave the tournament a year early, the Rebels were invited back.
  • This marks first time Pleasant Plains is playing in Western Hall where a trip to the state quarterfinals wasn't hanging in the balance.
