After falling last year in the quarterfinals for the second year in a row, the Lyon County Lyons set their focus on not just getting back to the state tournament but on being the team that got to cut down the nets on Saturday night.
Saturday night, all of the hard work, sweat, tears, and the run through a brutal schedule paid off as the Lyons won their first-ever state championship by dispatching a gritty Harlan County team 67-58 in the finals of the 2024 UK HealthCare Boys’ Sweet 16 in an electric championship night atmosphere in front of a large contingent of Lyon County fans who roared their approval all night long.
The State Champion Lyon County Lyons will be welcomed home with a Community Pep Rally at 2:00 at Jason White Gymnasium. The Lyon County Athletic Department says the team will exit I-69 at 1:45 and be led to Lyon County High School in a championship parade. The community is encouraged to welcome the team home.
