The Cannon County Lionettes picked up another win. This time it was on the road and in district play, Friday night the Lionettes traveled to Carthage to face district opponent Smith County a team they had beaten once already in the Trousdale County Tournament just before the New Year. That game was close. Friday’s night’s contest was not so close. Cannon did not allow the Lady Owls to score in the second quarter and went into the locker room leading 28-7. The Lionettes continued to dominate the game even though they turned the ball over 23 times. Abbey Sissom scored 19 points as Cannon grabbed their 18th victory of the year beating Smith County 51-37. Lindsey Reed chipped in 10 points for the Lionettes who even their district record at 3-313 is an unlucky number especially considering Friday was January 13th. That’s how many points Cory Henley had in the boys game against Smith County but no one else stepped in to help score and Cannon missed out on lucky win number 7. The Owls Trey Salisbury had the highlight of the evening with a slam dunk as Cannon dug a hole early in the game and never could catch up. Smith County went on to win 80-52. The Lions now fall to 6 -16 on the year and will meet York Institute next Friday with only 1 district win on their record. A complete box score will appear later this afternoon
