A fourth quarter rally by the Coffee County was not enough on Friday night as Shelbyville ended the Red Raiders basketball season in the quarterfinal round of the District 8AAA tournament. Trailing by 15 points entering the final frame, the Red Raiders scored 5 quick points in the first 90 seconds of the 4th quarter before the Eagles reeled off an 11 to 2 run to seal Coffee County’s fate captured the 61 to 45 win. Junior Garrett Eldridge led Coffee County in scoring with 19 points and was named the Gateway Tire and Service Center player of the game. Grant Sadler added 8 points and Stephen Sullivan added 7 points for the Raiders who finish the season with a record of 9 and 17.
