The Cannon County Lions normally turn in a better second half during football games than they do in the first. Most of the time it’s because the opposing teams they have played has already put the game out of reach and are utilizing younger players. However during homecoming, the Lions kept the Meigs County Tigers in sights and started making a comeback after falling behind at half 13-0. Cannon fumbled two punt returns that led to both Tiger scores. The Lions would punch it in the end zone after recovering a Meigs County Fumble but couldn’t convert the two point conversion to bring the score to 13-6. Cannon would begin their final drive of the game backed at their own 14 with two and a half left to go. The clock would be the enemy however as the Lions moved the ball to the Tiger 41 yard line before time expired giving Meigs County the win in a game that featured two winless teams. Cannon now falls to 0-8. Cannon County Senior Abby Jakes was named the homecoming queen. Cannon County will now get ready to play the final two games of the year as up next will be the Smith County Owls this Friday at Fred Schwartz Field in Woodbury
