The Coffee County CHS football team hit the practice field on Monday morning for their first day of practice in full pads. “Things went well” said Red Raider coach Ryan Sulkowski when asked how the first day of practice went. Coffee County has been conditioning since July 9th and practiced in helmets and shorts for a couple of times last week.
2018 is the 5th year at the helm of the Red Raider program for Sulkowski and will feature a young squad. The replacement of several All-Region 4-6A players will continue to be the focus heading into the season opener. Coffee County was scheduled to have a scrimmage with Grundy County on Friday, but with a change in coaching staff at Grundy, it appears that the scrimmage has been cancelled.
The Red Raiders will open the regular season at home on August 17th when they play host to Franklin County at Carden-Jarrell Field. Other highlight’s from the 2018 schedule include the Coffee Pot Game which will take place on August 24th in Tullahoma. Coffee County’s bye week is set for September 7th. Homecoming will be on September 28th when Coffee County hosts Oakland. The regular season will wrap up with Senior Night on October 26th against White County.
Each game will begin at 7 PM and Thunder Radio will continue to bring you all the action. Thunder Radio’s live coverage will begin each Friday night with the Friday Night Thunder Pregame Show at 6 PM.
