Homecoming week at Cannon County High School wraps up tonight as the Cannon County Lions high school football team will host the Smith County Owls at Fred Schwartz Field in Woodbury. The day will be spotlighted by a parade going from the High School through town starting at 1:00 this afternoon. Then the Lions will take the field later on tonight looking for their third win of the season. This is the first time in recent history that the Lions have scheduled region opponent Smith County as their homecoming opponent. Every year however that Smith County has hosted the game in the series, the Lions have been their homecoming game. Both teams come into the game 2-4 and both teams have lost their last two consecutive games. Two years ago the Smith County program was struggling with several key injuries en route to 3-7 year. The Lions earned their only victory of the season in a stunning 21-13 win over the Owls. Last year however it was homecoming and Smith County never let the Lions breathe winning 56-0. Cannon County will return Reece Smith and Dalton Morris back to the roster after they suffered concussions two weeks ago against York. Anton Knox and Jon Micah Davis will also be back in uniform coming off of disciplinary suspensions. Both will have to sit out the first quarter.

At 6:45 we will have the Reeds Builder’s Supply Pregame show including coverage of the crowning of the homecoming queen ceremonies. at 7:00 it’s the kickoff to the game.
