After the loss to Smith County Friday night, the members of the Associated Press that participated in the basketball poll dropped the Cannon County Lionettes from being the number one team last week to being the number four team in the state. The new poll came out on Monday night, the same night the Cannon County Lionettes traveled to Wartrace to play the Cascade Lady Champions. The Lionettes started out the game like they were the number one team in the state getting out to a 23-9 end of first quarter lead. The Lionettes controlled the pace throughout the game getting out by as many as 18 before they almost collapsed in the fourth quarter, letting that lead dwindle to 4 before pulling it out 58-52. Abbey Sissom led in scoring with 25, Abby Jakes contributed 14 while Madison Walkup added 10. The Lionettes moved to 19-2 with the win. The Cannon County Lions were looking to build on their win Friday night by following it up with a victory on the road. Unfortunately, the lid closed on the Cannon basket once again as Cannon stayed in the game until the fourth quarter came along. A couple of bizarre technical fouls called against Cannon County broke the game open for Cascade en route to a 53-43 win. Tommy Mitchell led the Lions with 11 points . Next up for the Lions and Lionettes will be district action on the road to Jamestown for a set of games against York Institute Friday night starting at 6:00
