Martin Luther King post player Jordan Majors looks pretty comfortable playing on the hardwood floor at MTSU’s Murphy Center. It would seem a good fit for the 6-0 post player as she will be calling the Murfreesboro spot her home for her collegiate career. The MTSU signee who played a key in getting her high school team the Lady Royals into their second straight TSSAA State Tournament appearance used her size advantage to help her team advance to the semi-final round as the Lady Royals advanced beating Cannon County 69-48 in the first round. The Lionettes biggest downfall this season has been a lack of experienced depth. That weakness led to 3 Lionette starters fouling out of the game during their closest run in the fourth quarter as they took an 18 point deficit and got as close as 7 before Kelli Davis and Autumn King fouled out of the game on back to back plays. Martin Luther was able to build the lead back up and coast the rest of the quarter winning 69-48. Cannon only went to the foul line 15 times and hit 8 while Martin Luther’s stats at the free throw line were more than double the trips ending up 25-34 from the charity stripe. Kendra Maynard led all Lionette starters with 15 points while Erin McReynolds who fouled out scored 11. Cannon finished the season 24-10 with a huge successful run in the postseason which ended with the third consecutive appearance in the TSSAA State Tournament.
