Cannon County Basketball Teams Now 5-0

The Cannon County High School Basketball teams improved to  5-0 after hosting the Coffee County teams from Manchester.  The Lionettes struggled from the field in the opening quarter but forced over 18 turnovers in the first half to grab a 37-19 lead by intermission.  The second half defense was just as intense as Cannon ran away with the game 76-42.  Lionettes were led in scoring by Abbey Sissom who poured in 24 points.  The boys game was supposed to be more challenging for the Lions but Cannon was able to distance themselves from the Red Raiders by 11 at the intermission.  Cannon would come out on a 6-0 run to increase the lead by 22 and win by 20 61-41.  Garrett McReynolds popped in 16 points for the Lions who await Warren County in Woodbury on Tuesday
