CHS Soccer Draws with Franklin County

Paco Barrera of CHS soccer

Coffee County CHS soccer hit the road to Winchester on Tuesday night for their 6th district contest in a row.  After battling Franklin County to a 3 to 3 tie in Manchester on April 5th, the Red Raiders were looking to notch a win in this district rivalry.  A hotly contested 80 minutes ended up in a tie as Coffee County and Franklin County battled to a draw at 1.

A fast start forecast a likely high scoring affair between the teams.  Franklin County got on the scoreboard first as they converted a corner kick to make the score 1 to 0 at the 5 minute mark.  Paco Barrera leveled the match in the 8th minute when he knocked home an assist from Briggs Haithcock.  After the quick start, both defenses rose to the challenge and finished the match without another goal.

Coffee County will be on the road again on Thursday night when they travel to Fayetteville to take on Lincoln County.  That district contest will kick off at 7 PM.

CCMS Golf Drops Fayetteville

Logan Hale of CCMS golf[File Photo]

The Coffee County Middle School golf team braved wet conditions on Tuesday as they traveled to Fayetteville to take on the Tigers of Fayetteville High School.  Despite being short-handed, the Raiders had little trouble topping Fayetteville.  Coffee Middle captured the win getting 8 ½ flags to the Tigers 3 ½ flags on the match.

Coffee County got a pair of dominant wins as the team of Kolby McCormick and Kaleb Jones captured a 2 ½ to ½ win while Logan Hale singlehandedly dropped the Tigers #1 team by an identical 2 ½ to ½ score.  Xavier Bartley, playing as a single, won over the Tiger duo he was playing by a final score of 2 to 1.  The Coffee County team of Avery Hill and Caleb Jarrell split their match with Fayetteville earning 1 ½ flags.

Coffee Middle’s linksters now await the conclusion of the regular season matches for all the other teams before beginning play in the conference tournament.  The dates, times and locations have not been announced, but Thunder Radio will keep you updated when the Raiders next match is scheduled.
