Columbia Central has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won three games by 31 points or more this season. They simply couldn't be stopped on Tuesday as they easily beat Hickman County 66-26 on the road. Given Columbia Central's advantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee basketball rankings (they are ranked 38th, while Hickman County is ranked 318th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
It was another big night for Saviya Morgan, who scored 16 points along with 8 steals. Morgan is absolutely dominating the steal category: she's posted at least two every time she's taken the court this season. Another player making a difference was Anaya Mulholland, who scored 16 points.
