Coffee County traveled to Nashville on Saturday night for a pair of games with Nashville Central Christian. Both Coffee County teams found their shooting touch in the non-district sweep. The Lady Raiders rolled to a 63 to 38 win while the Red Raiders ground out a hard fought 74 to 61 win.
The Lady Raiders held the home-standing Warriors to 1 point in the first quarter but could mange just a 10 to 1 lead headed to the second period. Coffee County found their range in the 2nd to pour in 21 points and cruise to the win. Jacey Vaughn led the Lady Raiders in scoring with 13 points. Abby Morgan added 12 points and Morgan Jones came off the bench to score 7. For her steady play in the 2nd half, Jones was named the Crazy Daisies player of the game. The Lady Raiders are now 13 and 0 on the season.
The Red Raiders used their defense and strong outside shooting to race out to a 27 to 16 lead in the 1st quarter. But Nashville Central Christian kept fighting back to close the gap to single digits throughout the game. A 21 point outburst in the 3rd quarter and solid defense in the 4th quarter lifted the Raiders to the win and snapped their 3 game losing streak. Shawn Anderson had 21 points in the 1st half and finished with a game high 22 points as he earned the Crazy Daisies player of the game award. Darius Rozier added 15 points and Kyle Farless netted 9 for Coffee County who improves to 6 and 3 on the year.
