The Coffee County Middle School basketball teams were in Woodbury on Thursday night to take on the Cannon County middle grade teams. Cannon County, who uses K thru 8 grammar schools, is fielding its first ever middle school level team this season using players from the 6 Cannon County grammar schools. Following their grammar school season, Cannon County built this “All-County” team that is competing against area middle schools. On Thursday night, the Raiders and Lady Raiders were too much for the Cannon County select as they came home with a pair of victories.
In the girls’ game, the Lady Raiders held the home standing Lionettes to 6 first half points in a 33 to 23 win. Bella Vinson led Coffee County in scoring with 16 points. Marley Perry chipped in 6 points and Kylie Phillips added 5.

The Raiders and Lady Raiders will be back at home on Monday when White County visits the CCMS gym.
