With time running out to get the region tournaments completed before Monday, the weather will hopefully cooperate and allow the Girls Region 4-AA basketball tournament championship game to happen tonight. The championship matchup features the Cannon County Lionettes taking on the Central Magnet Lady Tigerettes. Both teams were ready to play in a showdown Thursday but because the officials who were assigned to the game couldn’t get to the game because they were snowed in, the game had to be postponed until tonight at 7:00 at Cookeville High School. The Cannon County Lions hope that the third try is the charm in their attempt to continue in the postseason. The 26 win team will play in the region 4-AA semifinals tonight against Notre Dame. The two teams last met in the postseason back in 2011 with Cannon winning 73-59. Tonight’s game will start at 6:00 at Sequatchie County High School.
Because tonight the Lionettes are involved in a championship game, WBRY AM-1540/FM96.7 will broadcast the Cannon County Lionettes vs Central game. We will also provide regular scoring updates of the game between Cannon and Notre Dame.
