PREP SPROTS SCORES FROM TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 2022:
CMS Red Raider football 0, Tullahoma 28
The Raiders showed improvement from their first three outings, but could not get the ball moving in a 28-0 loss to Tullahoma Tuesday, a game you heard live on Thunder Radio as part of the Capstar Bank Hometown Sports Stream.

CHS Lady Raider Soccer 1, Lincoln County 8
Coffee County struggled to stop the bleeding Tuesday night and took an 8-1 loss on the chin at Lincoln County – the season opener for Coffee County Central.
Coffee County got the first shot on goal 12 minutes into the game when Jorja Waggoner unleashed a shot that was stopped. And the Lady Falcons didn’t score until 14 minutes to play in the opening half.
But from there it was all Lady Falcons.
Katie Cotten finally got CHS off the mat with a goal with a couple minutes to play.
CHS will be on the road this weekend before coming home to host Tullahoma on August 25th.
CMS volleyball 2, Warren County 0
The Coffee Middle Lady Raider volleyball team remains perfect in conference play with a 2-0 win over Warren County in McMinnville Tuesday.
The Lady Raiders improve to 7-2 overall, 4-0 in CTC action.
CHS golfers split again with Tullahoma, Franklin County
Different course, same results for the Coffee County golf teams.
After splitting with Tullahoma and Franklin County on Monday at WillowBrook, the teams hit the road and split with the same teams at Tim’s Ford on Tuesday in a 9-hole match.
Coffee County boys carded a total of 184 (top 4 scores combined), led by a 42 from Jacob Holder and a pair of 47’s from Noah Costello and Jack Stowe. Tullahoma was 4 strokes better at 180 and Franklin County came in the clubhouse at 199.

VOLLEYBALL: Lady Raiders drop opener 3-1 to Riverdale
Volleyball matches can be swayed by the smallest of things. That was the case for the Coffee County Lady Raiders Tuesday night in their home opener against Riverdale.
Senior Anna Johnson took off on a 7-0 run at the service line to bring CHS back from down 24-17 in the first set and knot the score at 24-24. But Riverdale went on to win the set 26-24, and the Lady Raiders fell 3-1 in the best of 5 match (24-26, 25-22, 18-25 and 25-13). The Lady Raiders are 0-1 on the young season.
After falling behind 1-0, the Lady Raiders bounced back and won the second second 25-22 and appeared to be on their way to taking a 2-1 lead. CHS went in front of Riverdale 12-6 in the third set. But the Lady Warriors answered with a 15-4 run and got the win to take a 2-1 lead and eventually the 3-1 win.
Senior Gia Perez led Coffee County with 8 kills from the outside. Kurry Neel and Camry Moss each added a pair. But kills at the net were hard to come by for Coffee County against the tall front line of Riverdale and some sets that were a little far off the net at times.
Madison Pruitt had 11 assists to lead Coffee County.
