With six players completing the girls basketball roster for Macon County Tuesday night, it looked like the Cannon County Lionettes were going to get an easy win. However when the game got going the Woodbury team found things a little different. Macon County led most of the first half leading by as many as 9 points in the game. The Lionettes tied the game and took the lead for good with about a minute left in the 3rd quarter and picked up their 10th win of the season 45-39. Maleah Scott scored 10 points to lead the team. Cannon’s district record is 4-4.
Normally results in the third quarter for the Cannon County Lions have hurt the team and have also been a major reason for the 6-16 season the Lions have endured through but the Lions responded Tuesday night against Macon County with a solid third quarter trimming a 20 point lead down to 7 before they folded in the fourth losing to Macon County 76-65. Briar Jakes had one of his better shooting performances scoring 22 points while Austin Martin hit 14 and Austin Duggin had 12. Cannon’s District record is 0-8. Both teams will be in Murfreesboro Thursday night to face the Central Magnet Tigers and Lady Tigers. Tip off will be at 6:00. WBRY AM-1540/FM107.9 will have the live broadcast game coverage.
