After getting a pair of wins in early December over Warren County, Coffee County traveled to McMinnville on Thursday night to take on non-district rival Warren County looking for the season sweep. The Lady Raiders had their hands full but escaped with a 42 to 35 win. The Red Raiders led from start to finish as they pounded the Pioneers 74 to 40.
It was a nip and tuck battle through 3 quarters of the girls’ game. Coffee County led by 2 points entering the final 8 minutes. The Lady Raiders opened the 4th quarter on a 10 to 3 run which seemed to take the fight out of the Lady Pioneers. Abby Morgan led the Lady Raiders in scoring with 17 points, including 6 in the final period to be named the Crazy Daisies player of the game. Bella Vinson also finished in double figures with 11 while Jacey Vaughn netted 6.
