Jenna Garretson of CHS Soccer
After capturing a pair of non-district wins last week, the CHS soccer team made the trek up to Cookeville on Thursday night knowing they would have their hands full against the talented Lady Cavaliers. Coffee County was outshot on the night 24 to 7 as Cookeville dropped the Lady Raiders 6 to 1. Adjustments at the half proved to be effective for Coffee County but all the damage was done in the 1st half as Cookeville built a 6 to 1 halftime lead.
Freshman Jenna Garretson once again had a great night for Coffee County as she drilled home a first half penalty kick to tally the Lady Raiders lone goal. The kick was awarded after a Cookeville foul in the 18 yard box in the 28th minute. Garretson’s goal made it a 3 to 1 game, but 3 Cookeville goals in the final 12 minutes of the 1st half proved to be the back breaker. Senior Holli Smithson stopped 18 shots between the pipes as she was bombarded all night long.
Coffee County will travel to McMinnville on Tuesday night for a 7 PM match with Warren County. Coffee County returns home on Thursday to take on Tullahoma in a 7 PM game at the Raider Soccer Field behind the Raider Academy.
