The Smith County Lady Owlettes roll into Woodbury sporting a 14-6 overall record. The Girls team has won 3 in a row and have some impressive district wins on this year’s resume including wins against Upperman and York. They lost by 5 to Livingston earlier in the season and are coming off a 7 point victory against their cross county rival Gordonsville 59-52. Tonight’s contest will be the second since the Lionettes were named at the top of the AP Prep AA Girls Basketball poll. The 18-1 Cannon County team survived a tough contest against Coffee County in Manchester Monday night. The Cannon County Lions try to break a 5 game slide that has seen their overall record drop to 8-10. However this district contest is a crucial must have for the Lions to keep them in the thick of the district race. Right now the Lions are 2-3 while the Smith County Owls haven’t been much better in a season with high expectations. Smith County has only won 4 games this season combined with 14 losses. The Owls beat Gordonsville a week ago to start the 2013 year off with a win. The games will be broadcast on AM-1540/FM 96.7 WBRY starting at 5:45 with the tipoff at 6:00. The games will also be streamed live online through our website wbry.com The night will also serve as a fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Both Lions and Lionettes will be collecting monetary donations for the foundation tonight at the game.
