Monday was a great day for the Red Raiders and Lady Raiders of Coffee County Middle School as all 3 teams in action on Monday got big wins. The Lady Raider soccer team played host to North Franklin in a lightning shortened affair on Monday afternoon. The Lady Raiders got a pair of goals from Allie Amado and a goal each from Julia Duncan and Bailey Sherrell in the first half to take a 4 to 0 lead at the halftime break. At the half, both teams were pushed off the field due to lightning and the game never resumed giving the Lady Raiders a perfect start to their season. Even though this was a conference opponent, the game was played as a non-conference game. The Lady Raiders will host Harris Middle on Thursday at CCMS at 5 PM in a conference battle.
The Lady Raider volleyball team traveled to Flintville on Monday and tamed the host Bobcats. The varsity and JV teams each got straight set wins over the Lady Bobcats to open their seasons in winning form.
