After a shaky start, the Coffee County Middle School soccer team was able to dispatch North Franklin on Monday night in Winchester. The Lady Gators got an early goal before Coffee County battled back for the 2 to 1 win in the conference matchup.
After giving up a goal in the 8th minute, the Lady Raiders got the benefit of a fortunate bounce off of a corner kick that ended up in the North Franklin goal in the 15th minute. Reagan Ellison added Coffee County’s game winning goal in the 29th minute to send the match to the half at 2 to 1. In the second half, Coffee County was able to change their defensive alignment to shut down any North Franklin comeback attempt.
The Lady Raiders travel to Sparta on Thursday night for a conference match-up with White County. That match will kick off at 5:30 PM.
