CHS Volleyball Splits Pair of Matches at Warren County on Monday
The Coffee County CHS volleyball team split a pair of matches in Warren County on Monday as a warm up to a busy week. In the first match, Coffee County controlled the first set before service errors allowed the home standing Lady Pioneers to scratch out a 25 to 23 come from behind win. Warren County closed out the best of 3 match with a 25 to 20 win in the second set to earn the sweep. The Lady Raiders were forced to take on Tullahoma immediately following the Warren County match and the Lady Raiders took out their frustrations of the Lady Cats. Coffee dominated in all aspects in the 2 set sweep of Tullahoma winning by set scores of 25-15 and 25 to 11. The Lady Raiders host 2 pivotal district games this week as they welcome the top 2 teams in the district to the Joe Frank Patch Memorial Gym. 2nd place Lincoln County visits on Tuesday while district leading Columbia comes to town on Thursday. Both matches begin at 6:00 PM.
CCMS Soccer Drops Warren County 5 to 1 on Monday

Journey Arnold got the scoring started off a feed from Duncan at the 5 minute mark to set the tone for the match for Coffee County. Coffee County stretched the lead to 2 to 0 off a corner kick from Jenna Garretson that Warren County inadvertently deflected into the net. The rout appeared to be on at the 25 minute mark as Duncan scored her 1st goal but a late goal by Warren County sent the match to the half at 3 to 1. The Lady Raiders matched Warren County’s physical play in the 2nd half as Duncan found the back of the net twice in the final 15 minutes to register her 2nd hat trick on the year. With the win, the Lady Raiders improved to 8-0-1 on the season. Coffee County hosts North Franklin on Wednesday at 5:00 PM in a friendly as the Lady Raiders look to complete their second straight unbeaten regular season.
