Anyone who wants to take a stab at Mitchell should come through me. I made a point last year to include them in my events. The result: A beating by CPA in December, Coach Phillips kicks most likely his best player off the team because he was a detriment. In January, he beats Jackson Southside at the Penny Hardaway event and beat them. Southside turns around, beats CPA in the state tourney and wins State. Mitchell never lost after the CPA game and won state. As a Memphian and promoter, it's my responsability to give all teams an opportunity the best I can. Don't hate on CPA either because those kids are not only talented, but handle themselves with class and integrity on/off the court. As a promoter, that's a dream.

Braxton Blackwell is the best in the state. He is vastly underrated and there is not #30 better juniors in the country.

Braxton Blackwell is legit. I've had him in my events for the last two years. He is a star in the making and incredibly good kid.

Event coordinator is right here my friend. BUT, I stand here humbly to tell you I was so wrong. Much love to Hamilton. They not only play a fantastic game, but proved they are a national power this year. So, please accept my apology because I couldn't have been more wrong. The great news is that it was a packed house for the event and every game was great.

That's very true. There have been intense games that have gone down to the wire. We've only had one upset in four years. Oak Hill/Hamilton is going to be physical and probably a little chippy. The other games are going to be great as well.

ACD got replaced with Whitney Young. ACD had some players transfer and we had to remove them. It's a better match up for Lexington anyway

Hamilton is #1 team in the State and will get punished by Oak Hill

No, but the Hamilton vs. Oak Hill game will be on ESPN
