The Cannon County Lionettes are back on top of the district standings.  Friday night the Livingston Lady Wildcats pulled into Woodbury with their sights set on keeping the top spot of the district all to themselves.  The Lionettes grabbed a 6-0 lead to start the game and after two ties early in the first quarter, Cannon was able to gain a small cushion lead and go into halftime leading 31-25.  The Lionettes kept up the pressure in the second half causing six Livingston turnovers in the fourth quarter.  The Lionettes were able to convert those into points pulling away and winning 59-47.  Abbey Sissom led the scoring for the Lionettes with 25 points while Abby Jakes added 13.  Cannon moves to 21-3 with a 7-2 first place district record.  The Cannon County Lions fell behind early in the boys game but were able to stay within striking distance throughout the game in the first half.  Cannon would struggle in the second half as Livingston would go on to win 64-50.  Cory Henley led the Lions with 23 points.  With the loss Cannon still remains in 4th place in the district at 5-4 and their record falls one game below 500 at 11-12.  Next up is the trip to Baxter Tuesday night to visit Upperman High School.  Game time is set for 6:00

If you are a high school basketball fan, there’s no better place to be tonight than at the Robert A Harris Gymnasium in Woodbury as Tonight it’s a battle of two of the state’s top basketball programs as the 3rd ranked Livingston Academy Lady Wildcats come to Woodbury to play the 6th ranked Cannon County Lionettes in a district war that plays implications on the top of the district standings.  If Cannon wins, they will take over first place due to the fact that they beat Livingston at the start of 2013.  If Livingston wins, they are in first place as they only have the one district loss on their record.  Cannon won at Livingston 64-62.  The Boys matchup is also important for the district race.  If Livingston wins, they remain in second place.  If Cannon can get the upset tonight in Woodbury, they will move up tied with Livingston for third place depending on how Upperman does this evening both teams could vie for second place.  WBRY-AM 1540, FM96.7 will have the live broadcast starting at 5:45 with the coaches corner and 6:00 for the tipoff.  The games will also be streamed live through our website at wbry.com
