Coffee County Basketball Continues Season Opening Win Streak

The Coffee County basketball teams will break for the Thanksgiving holidays with blessings galore, including perfect 4 and 0 records after sweeping Grundy County on Tuesday night.  Playing their 3^rd road game in a row the Lady Raiders held off a hot shooting Lady Jackets team 55 to 45.  The Red Raiders rallied from a 9 point first half deficit to carve out a 46 to 42 win.

Coffee County saw Grundy County drain 11 three point baskets in the girls game that saw lead changes through much of the first 3 quarters.  The Lady Raiders closed out the 3^rd quarter on an 11 to 2 run to build a cushion that Grundy County could not overcome in the 4th quarter.  The Lady Raiders were led in scoring by Aerial Williams who had 11 points to earn the Crazy Daisies player of the game honors.  Abby Morgan and Jenna Garretson each netted 10 points and Alliyah Williams finished with 9 points, including 7 in the 4^th quarter.

After trailing for most of the first half, the Red Raiders closed out the 2^nd quarter on their own 11 to 2 run to take a 2 point lead into the intermission.  Grundy County answered in the 3^rd quarter as they rebuilt a 6 point lead before Coffee County used their pressure defense to outscore the Yellow Jackets 18 to 8 down the stretch for the win.  Coffee County was led in scoring by Garrett Eldridge who finished with 12 points.  Darius Rozier came off the bench to score 10 points to earn the Crazy Daisies player of the game honors.  Grant Sadler finished with 9 points and Tyrese McGee and Stephen Sullivan each added 6.

Coffee County is back on the road on Monday night when they travel to McMinnville to take on Warren County.  The girls’ game will tip off at 6 PM.   Thunder Radio will bring you the broadcast beginning with the Char-El Apartments and Home Rental Pregame Show at 5:50
