Region Tournaments To Start Tonight

The Region 4-AA basketball tournaments get started tonight as the higher seeded teams of District 7-AA and District 8-AA host first round games before heading back to Cookeville for the remainder of the tournament.  The must win to advance to the region semifinal round finds the Cannon County Lionettes who are 21-9 overall and the second seed out of district 8-AA will host the Bledsoe County Lady Warriors 19-13  and are the 3rd seed out of District 8-AA.  Bledsoe won the District 7-AA consolation game Valentines night beating Chattanooga Christian 64-36 but have struggled against some of the top rated girls team throughout the season.  Cannon took the second seed by virtue of being the lower seed of the championship matchup that was canceled this past Saturday.  The Lionettes will be looking for their fourth consecutive win.  Game time at Robert A Harris Gym starts tonight at 7:00 with the doors opening at 5:00.  Tickets are $5.00 and can only be purchased at the door on game night.  WBRY will have the live broadcast on AM-1540/FM96.7, through WBRY by using the Tune In App on smartphones and tablets and streaming live on the internet on our website at wbry.com  Also note the Cannon County Lions will be hosting Signal Mountain in the boys game at Robert A Harris Gymnasium.  Game time will start at 6:00  Tuesday evening
