Alisha Jennings was high scorer for the Lady Raiders as she finished with 14 points. Julia Duncan netter 11 points and Lindsey Perry tallied 8 points.
The Raiders battled the visiting Pioneers neck and neck throughout the first half trailing 26 to 22 at intermission. As Warren County cranked up the defensive pressure in the 2nd half, the Raiders lost their scoring touch finishing with only 2 second half field goals as they fell by a final score of 45 to 29. Andrew Mahaffey was the leading scorer for Coffee County as he finished with 10 points while Weston Hargrove netted 7. Briggs Haithcock and Chay Chumley each had 1st quarter 3 point baskets for Coffee County.
