Well well well what do you know, CA beats Mt. Pleasant 4 times this year(I thought 3, my bad) and Mt. Pleasant makes excuses about all of them. In the preseason and all season long we heard about Mt. Pleasant this and Mt. Pleasant that and how they were going to state this year and how they were going to beat CA. What happened????? Yes I know this post may be a bit premature because Richland has a very good team from what I understand and will be a great challenge for CA. Even if Richland beats CA, I can sit back and smile because Mt. Pleasant ran their mouth all year and never backed it up when it counted...... Good luck to both Richland and CA and may the best team win and represent the region in Memphis

I think this year will be no different than any other, Shelbyville is the team to beat, Lawrence County #2, after that who knows.........

Yo snowman, I'm outside CA too, and I like them too, I think you got it backwards. Nobody likes Mt. Pleasant except Mt. Pleasant.

Lawrence County's only district loss came to Tullahoma. Who pitched for LCHS against Franklin County?

Yes, CA is Columbia Academy, and they are a good team in single A year in and year out. Most of their players play for Columbia Post 19 in American Legion ball during the summer. The game with Mt. Pleasant should be a good one today, and hopefully my boys at CA will come out on top and shut these guys from Mt. Pleasant up for a while, I'm tired of hearing about them.

All time greatest at Lawrence County was Cedric Wallace, class of 1995, Class AAA Mr. Basketball, 36.7 ppg in 1995.

I just wanted to give a huge congratulations to Giles County for running through all the so-called "Gods" of basketball in West Tennessee on their way to a Gold Ball. To all you West Tennessee fans, how bout them Bobcats now???? State Champs, just like they said all year, unlike a certain team in Dyer County last year. I guess teams in Middle Tennessee can talk the talk AND walk the walk. Congratulations Giles!

At least one mid-state team will win a game, since Columbia plays Hendersonville and they are both from the mid-state. I say Columbia moves on.

I didn't say Central would beat CA 17-1, I said they'd beat Mt. Pleasant 17-1. The game with CA would be much closer, but Central would still win handily. I would actually like to see that game though, it would be a great tradition to start and a measuring stick to see the difference between a powerhouse in single A and a powerhouse in AAA. Good luck to both teams this year, I'm expecting my CA boys to bring back a state championship this year.

I'll tell you why Pickle doesn't scrimmage Mt. Pleasant in a scrimmage game or a real game either one. Why would you play a team like Mt. Pleasant that would be nothing more than glorified batting practice when you can go out and be challenged by perennial state powers such as Oakland who sends players to division 1 colleges every year and has people get drafted regularly, Lavergne who has a great program that won state last year, Marshall County with their great tradition in AA and their state titles, and other AAA schools from around the state. Pickle wants his team to compete against the best, because to be the best, you have to beat the best. You aren't prepared for district 8AAA, arguably the toughest district in the state, when you play teams like Mt. Pleasant in the preseason. Simple as that. Word to the wise, Mt. Pleasant should quit worrying about Central because they haven't even proven that they can beat CA on a consistent basis. Lethal, I appreciate you taking up for me. Good luck to you this year and the rest of Columbia, except when they play Lawrence County.

LCHS loses two seniors this year, should be pretty good next year.

I'll go with the generic answer, because it's the right answer. CA is the best Single A team in the Columbia area, possibly the best single A team in the state. Deal with it. If you beat them this year and go farther than them, then you can talk. Until then, you can live in their shadow.

Columbia doesn't play Mt. Pleasant because it would be an absolute waste of their time. Mt. Pleasant wouldn't even be a good preseason scrimmage game for Central. Pickle knows this and only schedules opponents who are worth playing. Do you HONESTLY believe that Mt. Pleasant could beat Central???? You've got to be kidding me. I for one would love to see this game just to shut you Mt. Pleasant folks up. My prediction in the game if it were to happen: Central 17 Mt. Pleasant 1

I'm not from Maury County, but Central would probably run rule both CA and Mt. P. But they are supposed to, they are a 3A school and CA and Mt. P are both in single A. All 3 teams have talent, but Central is loaded with 3 times as much as the other two.

There are a lot of teams that play tournaments, I know when I played we would go to a tournament and have 2 or possibly three games in a day against two or 3 different opponents. Could this be one of those situations?
