The Coffee County Middle School softball team traveled to Sparta on Wednesday afternoon for a conference tilt with White County. The Lady Raiders once again jumped out to an early lead and powered to a conference sweep over the Warriorettes. Coffee County won by a final score of 6 to 3.
A pair of walks ahead of a Kaitlyn Davis single staked the Lady Raiders to a lead with no one out in the top of the 1st inning. Davis’ courtesy runner came around to score as the Lady Raiders took a 3 to 0 lead after one half inning. Coffee County added 2 runs in the 3rd and an insurance run in the 5th. Davis went the distance in the circle as she scattered 6 hits to get the win. Chloe Gannon had a pair of singles. Savannah Cooper had a single and a triple and scored once while Alivia Reel added a double with a run scored.
