A lot of basketball action is underway at the Smoky Mountain Classic in Gatlinburg and the teams from Cannon County are in the action.

Yesterday the Lionettes defeated George Wythe of Virginia by a score of 70 to 44. In the boys game Cannon won over Kentucky’s Bath County, 53 to 51.

Today the Lions face Buckhorn from Perry County Kentucky at 3:00 followed by the Lionettes taking on tournament host Gatlinbury-Pittman at 4:30. The 3:00pm game will be in the Gatlinburg-Pittman main gym and the girls game will be in the aux gym.  Our goal with today’s broadcast is to cover both games.  We will attempt to  transfer personnel and equipment in a short piece of time from one gym to another one.  The end goal is the make sure our listeners don’t miss a moment of the action.

The broadcast today will begin with Coaches Corner at 2:50pm on am 1540, fm 107.1 and streaming at wbry.com.
