Welcoming North Franklin for Homecoming on Tuesday night, the Coffee County Middle School football team returned to Carden-Jarrell Field for the first time since August. In an exciting defensive performance, the Red Raiders claimed a 14 to 6 win on Homecoming.

Cole Pippenger scored both Raider touchdowns with one in each half including a run from 49 yards out. Caleb Boothe added a 2 point conversion on the first Raider score as Coffee Middle enjoyed an 8 to 6 halftime lead. Leading 14 to 6 late in the game, Coffee County needed a stop on the Gators after they got a first and goal at the 7 yard line. The defense rose to the challenge to halt North on downs and run out the clock.

Coffee County will hit the road next Tuesday for their final road game of the year. The Red Raiders will take on Warren County in McMinnville. Kick-off is set for 6:30 PM.
