Lions Meet Owls In Second Consecutive District Basketball Contest

High school basketball this evening finds the Cannon County Lions and Lionettes traveling to Carthage tonight for their second District 8-AA contest in a row.  The Cannon County Lionettes will try to rebound from their loss against Upperman back on Friday evening.  The Lionettes lost by 19 but showed some progress that should help them translate into wins against other teams this season.  The Lady Owls are 4-4 and 0-1 in District play as they lost by 4 to a struggling Livingston Lady Wildcat team Friday night.   The Lions team showed signs of getting a grasp of what they are wanting to do long term Friday night in their game against Upperman.  Although the Lions lost by three, they had opportunities and kept pace with Upperman.  Tonight they’ll meet a Smith County team who hasn’t lived up to their potential as evidenced by their 0-6 start.  Tonight’s games will tip off at 6:00 this evening with the live broadcast on AM-1540/ FM 107.1 and streaming live on our website at wbry.com
