Another low scoring affair highlighted the opening district matchup between the Cannon County Lionettes and the Upperman Lady Bees at Robert A Harris Gymnasium. Cannon used a stretch in the third quarter to go up by 12 but the Lady Bees would not buzz off as they hung around until the final few seconds in an aggressively played fourth quarter. Abbey Sissom and Abby Jakes each scored 10 points as Cannon kept their record spotless with a 39-34 win over Upperman. The Lionettes are now 7-0. The inside game of Upperman was a factor early in setting a 10 point Upperman boys lead in their game against Cannon. The Bees came out in the second half on a 6-0 to up the lead to 16. From there they coasted to a 79-59 win over the Lions. Jarrett Melton posted 10 points for the Lions in the effort. Cannon’s next games will be in Murfreesboro Tuesday night against Central Magnet School
