Lions And Lionettes Demagnitze Central Tigers

It may have been just what the Cannon County Lions basketball team needed, a game away from home.  The Lions played their second district opponent in a row Tuesday night coming off a two game losing streak but this time instead of struggling from the field, the Lions behind Cory Henley’s 15 point 2nd quarter shut down the Central Magnet Tigers out of Murfreesboro en route to a 72-50 win Henley who ended the night with 25 points was one of three scorers in double figures joining Jarrett Melton and Zach Higgins who scored 10 points each.  Cannon’s record moves to 6-2.  Earlier in the night the Cannon County Lionettes continued to stay undefeated collecting a 74-51 win over the Lady Tigers of Central Magnet.  Abbey Sissom was the leading point getter with 24 while Rebekah Faulker scored 10 coming off the bench and Madison Walkup scored 12.  The loss was the first of the season for the Lady Tigers.  Cannon County’s next game will be Friday back at Robert A Harris Gymnasium as York Institute pays a visit.  Game time to start at 6:00
