The Raiders struggled offensively all night. CMS was 5-of-17 at the charity stripe and despite executing sets to get open around the basket, couldn’t get shots to fall in the first half.

Jase Cashion paced CMS with 10 points, despite missing the second and third quarters with foul trouble. Luke Campbell added 7 for CMS, David Lewis 5 and Landan Abellana 2.

Javon Lee led Harris with 10 points.

The loss drops Coffee Middle to 0-2 on the young season and 0-1 in conference play.
