He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making three total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
Lenoir City has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight games, which provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season. Cannon and Lenoir City will challenge East Hamilton at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
