Brentwood Academy 69, Columbia 52 -- Scrimmage

[WesVLT]

Today at Allen Arena, Brentwood Academy defeated Columbia 69-52 in a full-length scrimmage between state-bound teams. The Eagles led 39-28 at halftime and never looked back, cruising for the victory in a fast-paced contest. Both teams played all their best players and employed aggressive strategies, taking advantage of the tune-up opportunity. Brentwood Academy was clearly the better team today. Best of luck to both squads as they hit the 'Boro!!

this morning in the Tennesean, it had Columbia ranked 2nd, Gallatin 5th, and BA wasn't ranked.. Last Thursday BA beat Gallatin by 20 and today (Monday) BA beat Columbia by 17.. Is there something wrong with this picture?

WesVols it seems to me that the key word here is SCRIMMAGE!

Go figure, they probably took the starters out of game, and they are just trying to get ready for the state. So think about it DUH!

Hey macintosh if you play Basketball you step out on that court everytime and give it your fullest no matter what game atleast that's how i think it's supposed to be and just to make a corection BA beat Gallitin by 28 so Mac think about that.

just said the right thing and they might as well play football on the court why is everybody hating on columbia the have been underdogs every game get over it they are good

[WesVLT]

tm, nobody is "hating on" Columbia...I simply gave the score of the scrimmage today.

 

macintosh, the starters for both teams were in for the whole game. It was not the typical scrimmage...both teams figured they'd try to get better against another great ballclub, so they left their best players in for the typical amount of time.

 

The purpose of this post was to simply give the score and some details, not to make any big claim. Draw your own conclusions.

If you do not like the response WesVols then it shouldn't have been posted from the jump.

Fact of the matter it was a SCRIMMAGE!

and any team with common sense wouldn't let their players play at their full potential at this time of the season.

(anything can happen, and anyone can stand a chance of getting hurt).

So BA is still rated whatever they were rated before this game and the rank is not going to change because of a SCRIMMAGE.

so get over it!

Oh one more thing, Columbia hasn't been mentioned on Coach T in what seems like forever, so don't start mentioning the C-Town now.

We wish not to be included in this bunch of crap that takes place on these boards.

People of Columbia... I have reason to believe that you all will at the least make the semi-finals, and for BA people, I have reason to believe that you all can possibly win. But from experience, I know that Columbia has been open to play D2 teams, and there have been great games played between the Lions and D2. Yes, the key word is scrimmage, but a 17 point loss must make you think again about your team, espically if you all want to win on the AAA level. I'm sure that WesVols is just trying to report scores on his team just like he does for football and all the other sports at BA, and he does a commendable job for his reports. Don't get on him for reporting the truth. Another truth is that both teams will do well and good luck to both in the state.

macintosh, take it easy, bud. If you'll notice, in my first post I simply reported the score and offered my observations regarding how the scrimmage unfolded. I stated that Brentwood Academy was the better team today. By claiming this, however, I did NOT mean: 1)That Brentwood Academy was ALWAYS the better team, 2)That Columbia had no chance in the State Tourney, OR 3)That it was anything more than a scrimmage.

 

The truth is, I mean NOTHING but respect for Columbia. Like Harry, I have them slated to advance to the Semis, and I like Wadele Williams a lot. As I bluntly stated in my second post, I meant nothing beyond what I stated when reporting the results of the scrimmage.

 

Best of luck to the Lions...I'll be cheering for them!!

Big deal. Scrimmages mean very little. Fact is, I agree BA should be ranked in the top 10 in midstate, but just go win on Thursday.

"fool" and "idiot." Nice. Sounds like you're a pretty diplomatic debater.

 

Best of luck to the Lions.
