The CHS Lady Raider basketball season came to an end on Friday night as Coffee County fell to Stewarts Creek in the quarterfinal round of the Region 4AAA tournament.  Turnovers in the first and third quarters proved to be the deciding factor in spoiling the Lady Raiders upset bid over the District 7AAA runner-up Lady Red Hawks.  Coffee County fell by a final score of 59 to 34.

A three point basket with 4:55 left in the first quarter gave Stewarts Creek a 5 to 2 lead and allowed them to get into their full court press as they raced out to a 21 to 6 lead.  Coffee County clawed the deficit down to 10 points at intermission as they trailed 29 to 19.  Stewarts Creek turned up the pressure again in the 3rd quarter as they closed out the last 3:11 on a 14 to 3 run to put the game out of reach.

Coffee County was led in scoring by senior Aerial Williams who finished with 12 points to be named the Crazy Daisies player of the game.  Jenna Garretson came off the bench to score 6 points while Bailey Morgan and Jacey Vaughn each added 5 points.  With the loss, Coffee County will close out the season with a final record of 21 and 8.
