Facing old rival Tullahoma on Tuesday night, the Coffee County Middle School soccer team saw the revenge-minded Lady Cats get three 2nd half goals to beat the short-handed Lady Raiders 4 to 3. Coffee County got a pair of goals from Maddy Jones but it was not enough to overcome the loss of a pair of talented defenders who were not available on Tuesday for Coffee County.
Tullahoma outshot Coffee County 10 to 6 on the night as Coffee County could not get their offense untracked. The Lady Cats got on the board first as Kaylee Smith drilled a free kick in from 40 yards out in the 9th minute. After a early shot from Coffee County’s Katie Cotton, the Lady Raiders were held without a shot on frame until the 28th minute when Reagan Ellison pushed forward for an unassisted goal to draw the score even going into the halftime break
In the 2nd half, Tullahoma’s Paisley Simmons scored goals in the 39th and 41st minutes to give the Cats a 2 goal lead heading into the last 19 minutes. Jones scored goals in the 48th and 59th minutes, but a Tullahoma goal by Mary-Katherine Stroop in the 53rd minute proved to be the match winner.
The loss drops the Lady Raiders record to 3-1-1 on the year. This match was scheduled as a non-conference match, so Coffee County remains 2-0-1 in the Central Tennessee Conference. The Lady Raiders are back at home on Thursday when they play host to South Franklin. That match will kick off at 4 PM.
