Brianna Jones hits a pitch from former Lady Raider coach, and current MTSU softball coach, Jeff Breeden in Saturday’s Alumni Game
Known for her dominant pitching, former Coffee County Lady Raider Brianna Jones wowed the crowd with a win in the home run derby at Saturday’s Lady Raider Alumni Game. With a small turnout of former players, former head coach Jeff Breeden agreed to throw batting practice for an impromptu home run hitting contest. Brianna Jones, now a pitcher at Southern Illinois University, barely edged out former Lady Raider Cheyenne Willis to win the prize.
Former Lady Raider, and event organizer, Ashley Harrell Jernigan said the event raised over $3,500 to benefit the Coffee County Central High School softball team. The majority of that money was earned from the silent auction. Additionally, $208 was donated to the Daryl Welch family from a live cake auction. Coach Steve Wilder says that he plans on making the event an annual tradition.
