The Cannon County Lionettes showed no lingering effects from the heartbreaking loss Friday night against Livingston.  In turn they took out any frustrations in Tullahoma against the Tullahoma Lady Wildcats.  A very stingy Lionette defense forced 37 Tullahoma turnovers, allowed only 10 Tullahoma field goals in a 64-23 win.  The Lionettes landed three players in double figures with Abbey Sissom leading the way with 14, Joanna Young finished with 11 and  Jordan Hollis netted 10 In the boys game. Tullahoma got out to an 11 point lead before Cannon went to work whittling away at the lead and trailing by only three at the half.  The Lions were able to take the lead for a brief time before Tullahoma was able to go on another run in the fourth quarter before putting the game away 56-43.  Alex Davenport led all scorers with 9 points.  The teams will now get ready to jump back into district play with a road trip Friday at Smith County.

New Board members and new ideas are set to usher in 2012 for the Cannon County Chamber Of Commerce.  Last week during the board meeting, the present board members gave the thumbs up for the approval of the Chamber Board Nominations for 2012.  Those nominations move Neal Appelbaum from vice president to the President’s chair.  The move was necessary as the former President Jacque Head resigned due to a job relocation.  Vice President belongs to Ron Fryar and the Treasurer will be Tarron Johnson.  New Board Member Nominations include Debbie Vaughn of the Old Feed Store and Antique Mall, Keith Ready of WBRY, John Barker Middle Tennessee Electric  Corporation and Connie Rigsby of the Cannon Senior Center.  Board Member Anna Pittman will serve another 3 year term.  The nominations will be finalized by a member vote due at the Cannon County Chamber Banquet Tuesday January 24th at the Cannon County Senior Center.  The Banquet will start at 6:30 p.m. with the cost of $15 per person.  In addition to the nominations an event committee has been formed to gather ideas for various Chamber fundraisers, networking opportunities and other events designed to help the business members grow in revenue.

After the Cannon County Basketball Games, fans covered the floor with toilet paper as part of a whiteout fundraiser.  The Basketball teams would like to use white out to erase the losses both teams ended up with to Livingston Academy. In the Girls Game, the Lionettes were in the lead most of the way against the Lady Cats of Livingston Academy.  After leading by as many as 11, the Lady Cats fought back and led at the end of the third quarter 32-30.  Cannon would exchange the lead a couple of times in the 4th quarter and through a controversial call would lead 44-43.  The Lionettes turned the ball over and another controversial call would send Livingston to the free throw line with 4 tenths of a second left.  Livingston made both pressure free throws and escaped with a 45-44 win.  Abbey Sissom led all scorers with 22 points.  
Mason Ramsey was heralded as a better player than his younger brother Logan Ramsey.  Logan came in to prove differently as the 6 foot 9 inch center contributed 28 points as Livingston beat the Lions 58-36.  Cannon was led in scoring by Cory Henley and Jarrett Melton with 9 points each.
