Pink out night promotion at the Cannon County High School Football Game Friday night was a success as Breast Cancer Awareness was spotlighted throughout the evening and money was raised to fight cancer. Another color also stood out Friday and that was Green as in Tanner Green the power running back for Middle Tennessee Christian School who ran for 251 yards and three scores to help the Cougars keep the Lions winless at 0-8 with a 33-20 win at Fred Schwartz Field. The Lions had opportunities to stay in the game. Trailing 7-0 in the first quarter, the Lions were able to get the ball all the way down to the Cougar 1 before turning it over on downs. The Lions would score on the next posession though as Austin Brock caught a 15 yard pass from Brady Page for a touchdown but the two point conversion failed making it 7-6. The Cougars scored twice in the second quarter to make it 21-6 Cougars at half. In the second half after the Cougars scored on the opening possession, Cannon answered with another 15 yard touchdown pass this time to Jeremy Litchford. Two point conversion was also a success cutting the lead 27-14. In the fourth quarter, both teams scored with the Lions scoring one last time in the final minute of the game with Maika Fonoti mowing it in from one yard out for the final score of the game. Cannon County will be back to region play in the final two games of the season with a home game this Friday against Sequatchie County. Game time at Fred Schwartz Field at 7:00.
