Pickens Academy’s Mackenzie McCool signed with the Mississippi University for Women last Thursday morning in Carrollton. The senior is an integral piece to the Lady Pirates’ effort to bring home the school’s first ever state championship this season.

McCool played her freshman and sophomore seasons for Pickens Academy, before transferring to New Hope in Mississippi for her junior season. The slugger then returned to PA for her senior season and has already hit four home runs.
