The Lyon County Lyons are a team that returns several players from the 2017-2018 season. However, it was the “new kid on the block” that stole the show at times during Lyon County’s home scrimmage against Ballard Memorial Monday night.
7th grader Travis Perry connected for 32 points in only three quarters of action to lead Lyon County past the Bombers. Perry had 17 points in the first quarter, seven points in the second quarter, and 8 more in the third quarter to lead the Lyon County effort.

In the 4th quarter of the varsity scrimmage, Coach Jeff Embrey let the reserves get the full eight minutes, as the Bombers edged out the Lyons 12-9.
