Lions and Lionettes Host Upperman Tonight

The Cannon County Lions and Lionettes high school basketball teams are back at home tonight as they host the Upperman Bees and Lady Bees basketball teams.  Lady Bees are 11-0 in District play and they have clinched at least a tie of being regular season champions with three games left to go.  Upperman enters the game on a 18 game winning streak.  These two teams met in Baxter January 12 and it resulted in a 62-26 win for the team from Baxter.
The Cannon County Lions should be focused for their game against the Bees.  Coming off a win on the road against York, the Lions have put themselves in a position for a chance to finish the district season strong and climb out of last place heading into the tournament.  It’s one game at a time and tonight is the rematch of a game they lost in January in a heartbreaking fashion.  Both Bee teams are ranked in the top ten in the state.
The games will be on live on AM-1540/FM107.9 WBRY streaming live on wbry.com.  Tipoff is at 6 tonight.
