The Coffee County Lady Raider soccer team punched their ticket to the Region 4AAA Tournament on Tuesday night with a 1 to 0 win over Franklin County. The district tournament semifinal win sends Coffee County to Fayetteville on Thursday night as the Lady Raiders seek a District 8AAA title when they take on Lincoln County.
Despite the low score, Coffee County controlled the time of possession and shots as they out shot the Rebelettes 22 to 5 in the match. Coffee County keeper Holli Smithson was only forced to make 3 saves as her defense kept her clean on the night. The Lady Raiders forced 6 shots on the Franklin County keeper in the middle of the 1st half culminating in a goal by MaKenzie Anderson in the 22nd minute. Samantha Ellison laid off a pass to Anderson from the center of the box and Anderson converted on a diving, sliding kick to give the Lady Raiders the only goal they would need.
Coffee County will travel to Lincoln County on Thursday to play for the District 8AAA title. Game time is set for 7 PM at Lincoln County High School. The winner of that match-up will host a region semifinal against the District 7AAA runner-up on Tuesday while the loser will travel to the District 7AAA champion
