The air attack of Walker Valley proved to be effective against a depleted Red Raider secondary on Friday night as the visiting Mustangs dropped Coffee County 49 to 28. The visitors from Bradley County used 4 passing touchdowns in the first half to build a 42 to 7 lead at intermission. Coffee County was able to rally for 3 second half touchdowns but it was not enough to pick up the non-region win.
Coffee County was held to 110 yards of offense in the first half highlighted by a 55 yard touchdown run from Alontae Taylor. Taylor also added a touchdown in the 3rd quarter as Dearron Rozier and Silas Vaughn scored the other 2 touchdowns for the Red Raiders. Vaughn, an offensive tackle, rumbled in from 18 yards with 2:41 left in the game as he scooped up an errant lateral and carried it in for the score. For his head’s up play, Vaughn was named the Thunder Radio/Crazy Daisies player of the game.
Taylor led Coffee County in rushing with 183 yards on 22 carries and 2 TD’s. Rozier finished with 83 yards on 15 carries and a score. Coffee County will return to region action next Friday when they travel to Riverdale. Kickoff is set for 7 PM.
