It was a night of basketball set to recognize Edith McReynolds and her fight against Lymphoma as Cannon County basketball fans wore green shirts to the game many of which were the neon green type that helped raise funds for her medical bills and family. One of her family members stepped up and made sure that the Lionettes wouldn’t fall victim to the visiting Macon County Lady Tigerettes. Erin McReynolds scored a team high 15 points to wrap up a 51 to 45 win that keeps the Lionettes still in the hunt for the top spot in the district race despite a 4-5 district record. McReynolds was instrumental in the Lionettes building a 12 point lead in the third quarter as she scored 7 points in the frame. Macon closed the gap late in the fourth quarter as the Lionettes hung on to win by the 6 point margin. Kelli Davis also added 15 for the Lionettes who won their 18th game overall. Four Lions boys basketball players scored double figures in the Lions 80-62 thumping of Macon County Tuesday night at Robert A Harris Gym. Briar Jakes came off the bench and burned the nets for 15 points and 3-3 pointers. Jacob Nave led all scorers with 20. Josh Reuhlan added 16 and Austin Martin finished with 14 points. The lead went back and forth in the first quarter 6 times before the Lions quit playing with them and started running away with the game by halftime. Macon County’s confidence was rattled throughout the game by several blocked shots. Cannon stays in first place with a 19-5 overall record and 8-1 in district play. The teams will travel Friday to Carthage to meet Smith County
