Tuesday night was a night to celebrate and a night to rebound from their first loss of the season for the Lyon County Lyons. Led by another big night from the ‘Three Amigos’, the Lyons scored the final 21 points of the opening quarter and rolled on to an 87-40 win over the Livingston Central Cardinals at Jason White Gymnasium.
With the Lyons using that run to take a 31-4 lead at the end of the first quarter, the question of the night became whether or not Travis Perry would score the 24 points he needed to pass Ty Rogers and become Lyon County’s all-time leading scorer. It took a while, but Perry got open on a three-pointer in the right corner early in the fourth quarter that found nothing but net and gave him 3,301 points for his career, one more than Rogers’ 3,300.
Lyon County would lead 55-24 at the half and then 75-29 after three quarters, as they rebounded from their tough loss to Mason County over the weekend.
One of the highlights for Livingston Central in the game was the play of senior Will Orr. Orr at one stretch hit six straight three-point shots and finished the game with 18 points for the Cardinals.
In addition to Perry’s 24 points, Jack Reddick had 24, and Brady Shoulders had 23 for the Lyons. Shoulders also pulled down 13 rebounds. Bray Kirk also hit double-figures with 11 points.
Outside of Orr’s 18 points, Logan Wring chipped in with 12 points for the Cardinals.
Lyon County improves to 3-1 with the win. They will be back at home Friday night to take on Crittenden County in another 5th District matchup.
Livingston Central falls to 2-3. The Cardinals will host Trigg County Friday night.
