The Lady Raiders featured balanced scoring on the night led by Addi Sartain who had 9 points. Peyton Graham chipped in 8 points in the win.
In the boys’ game, the Warriors jumped out to a double digit lead in the first quarter and never looked back. Coffee Middle was held to just 8 points in the first half. The Red Raiders were led in scoring by Evan Kirby who had 6 points. Colter Neel added 4.
The 6th grade squads will be back in action on Thursday night when they host Warren County. That doubleheader will tip off with the girls’ game getting underway at 6 PM.
