Maddy Jones(in black) of CCMS dribbles the ball past a Tullahoma defender on Monday night.
Facing their bitter rival Tullahoma on their home pitch was a tall order for the Coffee County Middle School soccer team on Monday. Rising to the challenge, the Lady Raiders used a strong defensive game plan, and a pair of goals by Maddy Jones, to capture a 3 to 0 win over the Lady Cats.
Jones found the back of the net early in each half as she scored in the 3rd minute unassisted and again in the 31st minute off an assist from Alexis Rayman. Reagan Ellison added a goal in the 29th minute to give Coffee County a 2 to 0 lead at intermission off an assist from Kyleigh Harner.
Coffee County’s defense was so disruptive; they allowed only 3 shots on frame for Tullahoma in the match, including a single shot in the 2nd half. Keeper Lucy Riddle made the necessary 3 saves to record the shutout.
The Lady Raider soccer team will be back in action on Thursday when they welcome Harris to the home pitch. That match is set to kick off at 5 PM and Thunder Radio will be on hand to bring you’re the broadcast as part of the 1st National Bank Hometown Sports Series.
