Three Cannon County Lionettes landed in double figures in their 2012-2013 basketball season opener Tuesday night in Woodbury against the Cumberland County Lady Jets. Abbey Sissom paced the balance attack with 21 points while Abby Jakes finished with 18 points. Teammate Madison Walkup added 16 off the bench as the Lionettes poured it on in the second half running away from the Lady Jets 65-51. The Cannon County Lions completed the sweep of the teams from Crossville with a 71-51 win over Cumberland County. Post player Tanner Larson scored 20 points to lead the way scoring wise. Lions only allowed 9 points in the third quarter of the game. The Lions and Lionettes will host the Marion County Warrior teams in a pair of games that was originally scheduled to be played on Friday. Because Marion is in the football playoffs, that game has been moved to Saturday night starting at 6:00.
