The Cannon County Lions and Lionettes have made it a point to never overlook anyone this season especially in a tough district where upsets can happen on any given night. For instance while the Lions and Lionettes were playing Dekalb Tuesday night another district matchup saw 5th ranked Central Magnet fall to York Institute who was sitting at the bottom of the district standings in Jamestown in girls basketball. Both Cannon teams got exactly what they needed Tuesday night as both teams protected the home floor and coasted to easy wins. The Lions built leads in the second half by as many as 22 in beating the Dekalb County Tigers 77-57. Josh Ruehlan scored 20 of his game high 30 points in the first half. Jacob Nave added 10 and Austin Martin dominated inside the paint and finished with 8 points. The Lionettes placed three in double figures as Kendra Maynard notched 17 points en route to a 65-33 trouncing of the Lady Tigers. Kelli Davis added 11 while Erin McReynolds finished with 10 for the Lionettes who improve to 3-4 in District play while staying in the Top Ten Poll at #10. Both teams will return to the court at Robert A Harris Gym to play Central Magnet school Friday night.
