The High School Basketball postseason begins tonight for the Cannon County Lions Boys team. This year’s district tournaments are set up a little different in that the seventh and eighth seeds which were the teams to finish last in the regular season will meet each other for a play-in game. The winner of tonight’s games will have to win in the next round as well to advance to play at least two more games.
The Cannon County Lions enter the tournament as the seventh seed, finishing with a 2-12 district record. They will meet the Dekalb County Tigers who finished eighth in the regular season with a 1-13 mark. Their only win was against Cannon County back in January in Smithville. Cannon collected wins against Dekalb in the second meeting in Woodbury earlier this month and York Institute in Jamestown. Tonight’s contest will be played at the Hooper Eblen Center on the campus of Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville. Tipoff is slated for 7:30. WBRY AM-1540/FM 107.9 will carry the live broadcast. The game will also be broadcast streaming live on wbry.com
