Garrett McReynolds jump started the Lion offense in the first half and finished with 10 points in the game. Cory Henley had a game high 17 for the Lions who are now 7-1 as a result of the 59-44 win against Macon County. Tonight the ball teams must be prepared to take the trip to Jamestown early. The game between Cannon and York Institute was supposed to take place Friday but because of threatening snow and sleet in the forecast Friday night, game officials at York asked to move the game up to tonight. Both York teams are struggling in the early season but the Lions and Lionettes know that the Dragons love to play on their home floor.
