Homecoming week of Cannon County High School wrapped up at Fred Schwartz Field Friday night. Rachel Alexander was crowned queen and then the Cannon County High School Lions football team got crowned hard by visiting Smith County as the Owls scored on 6 consecutive offensive possessions to easily win their first region game of the season 42-3. After Smith County opened with a four play 70 yard touchdown pass to lead 7-0, three plays later the Owls recover a Cannon fumble and score again quickly making the score 15-0. Cannon needing some points to stay within sight got a 32 yard field goal to cut the lead 15-3. From there the Owls just flew scoring four more straight times while Cannon couldn’t answer. The Lions couldn’t stop any facet of the Owls offense. Smith County racked up 476 yards of total offense including 326 yards rushing. Cannon only managed to compile 101 yards of offense with 36 through the air and 65 on the ground. Lions fall to 2-5 on the year. Next up for the Lions will be Friday night in Murfreesboro to take on a tough challenging Middle Tennessee Christian School Cougar Team. Kickoff at 7:00
