The 2015 postseason will probably be remembered more for the weather postponements than anything else. Weather has played a factor in eliminating many of the district tournament championships around the state in the middle of February. Snow and ice also played a factor in the delay of several region tournament championships many of which had to be played the same weekend that the sectional round would have been played if the games were right on schedule. Now another winter weather storm has postponed the second day of the TSSAA girls state tournament. So let’s try it again. The Cannon County Lionettes are ready to continue their postseason run tonight vs Martin Luther King Both teams have been surprising this postseason. Cannon finished 5th in the district earning the 5th seed going into the district tournament. Not only did the Lionettes get to the district championship game, they also reached the region championship game which they claimed with a win over Central Magnet. Next came the two point win over Seqouyah in the sectional game Monday night to secure the right to participate in their third consecutive straight State Tournament. The Martin Luther King Royals finished perfect in their regular district with a 14-0 record but got bit by Lipscomb in the tournament. After reaching the region tournament championship the Lady Royals lost the battle by three to state participant Westmoreland. That set the team up for the biggest upset of the season as Martin Luther King ended the basketball season of powerhouse CPA. Tonight’s matchup between Cannon County and Martin Luther King will tipoff at 6:45. We will have the live broadcast of the game starting on AM-1540/FM96.7 WBRY, streaming online at wbry.com and through WBRY by using the Tune In Radio app on your smartphones and tablets.
