It's been 18 years since the Jackson County Lady Blue Devils and Cannon County Lionettes have seen each other on a basketball court. The landscape has changed dramatically for the Gainesboro program as the Lady Blue Devils had a tradition of deep postseasons and state championships during the era. The era ended in 2018 when Jackson County went 0-25.
The Cannon County Lionettes enter the Region 3-AA tournament as the #2 seed after losing 42-39 to Westmoreland in the District 6-AA tournament Monday. They will host the 3rd seeded Lady Blue Devils who soundly defeated Sequatchie County in the District 5-AA Consolation game Monday night 50-35.
Tonight's game will be hosted by Cannon County before the semifinal and championship games roll to Monterey High School.
Tipoff at 7:00
Saturday the fourth seeded Cannon County Lions will travel to Jamestown to meet the #1 seeded York Institute in the first round of the Boys Region 3-AA tournament. Tipoff will also be 7:00.
