A Pair of CCMS Football Players named to All Conference Team

A pair of Coffee County Middle School Red Raider football team members were honored on Saturday as they were named to the 2016 All-Conference team. Eighth graders Marshall Haney and Kyle Farless were honored following Saturday’s CTC Championship game in McMinnville. Warren County Middle defeated Tullahoma Middle in the CTC Championship by a final score of 26 to 12.
Haney was the leading rusher and scorer for Coffee County this year. “Marshall’s role changed throughout season as we used him as the Wildcat quarterback” said Coffee County Middle School football coach Bryan Morgan. “He did a good job of reading defenses” added Morgan.
Farless was the leading receiver for CCMS this year as he began the year as a wide receiver and safety. “Kyle played a lot of different roles for us as he moved around as needed on offense and defense” said Morgan. Farless ended up playing running back and some quarterback on passing downs. “On defense, Kyle moved from safety into the front 7 and ended up playing defensive end for us” added Morgan.
Coach Morgan also complimented the play of all his 8th graders saying “This group hung in there all season long and kept fighting as they won 2 of the last 3 games.”
