The Cannon County Lionettes proved the old adage that it’s hard to beat a team three times in a season. Especially if that team hasn’t had all their expected players available the first two times they played. Tuesday night the Lionettes hosted the Warren County Lady Pioneers from McMinnville. The Lady Pioneers led the game most of the night but the Lionettes were able to do things to keep them in the game. A late run by the Lionettes caused by turnovers and converting them to points in transition helped them take the lead and the Lionettes won 49-43. Kelli Davis scored 21 points while Autumn King and Maleah Scott added 11 each in the win. Lionettes improve to 8-10 on the year.
The Cannon County Lions lost in the night cap to the Warren County Boys team 65-55. The Lions had no answer to the inside outside combination that Warren County used to score 44 of the 65 points on the board. The Lions shot 39 percent from the field while Warren County attempted twice as many shots in the win. Austin Duggin got hot in the second half and finished with 15. Austin Martin delivered 15 in the loss. Cannon falls to 6-12 on the year. The teams will get a chance to catch their breath before traveling to Baxter to play Upperman in a district game next Tuesday.
