Lionettes Win Sundrop Romp in OT

The last game current Cookeville coach Mindy Odom coached on the Cannon County sideline, the Lionettes watched a 14 point lead to Meigs County disappear in a substate game back in 1992.  The last game she coached against Cannon County saw her Cookeville Lady Cavaliers with a 16 point lead only to evaporate in the final 2 minutes of the game as Cannon County hit a 3 pointer with no time on the clock to force overtime.  The Lionettes would outscore Cookeville 12 to 4 in the extra stanza to win the Sundrop Romp Christmas Tournament 71-63 over the Cookeville Lady Cavaliers.  Cannon was led by Abbey Sissom who scored 43 points while Madison Walkup added 11.  Abby Jakes added 6 points all off free throws including three cruical ones that cut the Cookeville lead to 3 with less than 30 seconds to go in regulation.  The Lionettes would steal the ball and Abbey Sissom would dial up the three that sent the game to over time.  With the championship, the Lionettes record is 13-1.  Abby Jakes and Jordan Hollis were named to the all tournament team while Sissom received the MVP trophy
