Lions and Lionettes Travel To Livingston Tonight

It’s back to district action tonight for the Cannon County basketball teams.  The Lions and Lionettes will travel to Livingston tonight for a pair of games against the Wildcats and Lady Wildcat basketball teams.  The girls game features two of the top AA basketball teams in the state.  The Livingston Lady Cats sport a 15-3 overall record.  Over the holidays they participated in a tournament in Gatlinburg where they lost by one point in the championship game.  The Lionettes are 16-1 and have been dominating the competition since coming back from a 16 point deficit in the Sun Drop Romp Championship beating Cookeville.  This past Monday, they collected their second tournament championship in a little over a week in San Destin Florida.  The Livingston Wildcats had expectations of being one of the top teams in the district.  After a 2-6 start the Wildcats have went on a 9-1 run including a 7 game winning streak culminating in a Gatlinburg tournament championship last week.  The Cannon County Lions started fast out of the gate but Santa Claus was not too kind to them over the Christmas holidays winning just one game and they are on a three game losing streak entering this contest.  The Coaches Corner starts everything off at 5:45 tonight followed by live coverage from tip off to final buzzer.  You can hear the game live on AM-1540, FM-96.7 WBRY and streaming live on wbry.com
