When the Cannon County Lions and fans hit Fred Schwartz Field tonight in Woodbury, they will be celebrating two things. The promotion for tonight is Salute To Veterans Night. All Veterans will be recognized prior to kickoff. The season begins tonight against the Purple Tigers of Watertown tonight at 7:00. Cannon County is under a new head football coach in Brent Bush who steps up into being the man in charge after serving the team as an assistant. The Lions are trying to erase the memories of the past two seasons when they went a collectively 1-19 including an 0-10 season last year. Watertown started off hot last year winning their first 6 games in a row. But they cooled off the last part of the year and didn’t win a game the rest of the year including the lone playoff game against Rockwood to end their season at 6-5. Friday Night Football featuring the Cannon County Lions will get underway at 4:00 with the locally produced football program Tailgate. At 5:30, Prep Football Guru Murphy Fair will present his predictions of high school football games around the state. 6:00 time for Thunder as the crew from Friday Night Thunder spotlight matchups around Middle Tennessee. At 6:45 It’s the Coaches Corner with Head Football Coach Brent Bush and at 7:00 we will bring you the live coverage of the game. You can listen to the games on AM-1540/FM96.7 WBRY and streaming live on our website at wbry.com
