I think Mt. Juliet will win tonight's matchup. MJ only won by 4 at BA and that was after being down by quite a bit in the first half. However, MJ is coming off a big win at Beech so I look for them to continue tonight. GO BEARS!

Just thought I should let everyone know that MJ was in fact victorious against BA. The score was something like 58 to 55 (MJ won by 3). The Bears came from about 15 points down. They were led by none other than the home fans, namely, THE PIT! Keep up the good work guys!
