2019 Dist 8AAA Girls Basketball Tournament(updated 2-14)
Riding an 11 game winning streak into the District 8AAA tournament, the Lady Raider basketball team opened the postseason on Thursday night in Lawrenceburg. Taking on a Lincoln County team that had given Coffee County fits in both regular season matchups, the Lady Raiders got a fast start and a strong finish to advance to their 2nd straight District tournament finals. Coffee County won by a final score of 60 to 47.
The Lady Raiders closed out the 1st quarter on a 16 to 2 run to carry a double digit lead into the 2nd period. Coffee County stayed comfortably in front until Lincoln County closed out the 3rd period on a 7 to 0 run to cut the deficit to 6 points entering the 4th quarter. In the 4th quarter, the Lady Raiders scored the first 8 points to erase any upset hopes of the Lady Falcons.
Bella Vinson led Coffee County in scoring with 33 points as she earned the Crazy Daisies player of the game award. Jacey Vaughn had 3 of Coffee County’s eleven 3 point baskets to finish with 12 points. Abby Morgan added 6 points, with all of those coming in the 4th period. The win improves Coffee County to 27 and 3 on the season.
