The Cannon County Lions football team finished the season with the highest point total they have achieved all season. However the Upperman Bees stayed a couple of steps ahead of them as the Lions lost 44-22 and ended their season without a win. It was a typical Upperman Cannon matchup that brought aggressiveness to the football field. Several unsportsmanlike conduct penalties were called throughout the game but none as meaningful as in the second quarter when it appeared a Bee defender speared Cannon quarterback Cody Petro. Petro would be injured as a result of the play and no penalty flag was thrown. This ignited head coach Brent Bush who came across the field to check on his senior quarterback. In the process words were exchanged between Bush and the referees which resulted in two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties being called and Coach Bush being ejected from the game. The Lions would close a 44-6 gap to 44-22 but that’s as close as they could get in the game. Ethan Smith put Cannon on the board in the first quarter after intercepting a ball and running it in the end zone closing in on Upperman 13-6. In the second half Cannon was able to score touchdowns on a long pass play to Bo Bryson and Cody Petro running the ball in for a score. The Lions end the season with a 0-10 record.
