Cannon County made two big scoring touchdown plays, their opponent Friday night the Upperman Bees made countless big plays as the Bees rolled to a 70-12 win over their region opponents. Upperman’s win was by the biggest margin ever against the Lions in the series between the two football programs. The Lions got back into the game in the first after turning the ball over in the first two posessions in which both led to Bees scores. The Lions hooked up with a huge pass play from Brady Page to Jeremy Litchford 65 yards for a touchdown to pull within a 13-6 lead before Upperman put it away with consecutive touchdowns. The second big play for Cannon County was a 72 yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Litchford .to make it Upperman 35-12. The Bees then continued to pour it on the Lions even though the mercy rule was in effect the entire second half. Only four more games remain for the Lions football team. Next week it’s on to Carthage for a region game against Smith County. Game time Friday is 7:00
