The Eagles star player Vic Wharton III threw a 19 yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, had a 52 yard punt return later in the first, and had a 68 yard touchdown reception just before the half to lead Independence now 4-2 on the year.
Deangelo Rozier lead the way for Coffee County with 130 yards on the ground on 17 carries. Rozier scored the lone touchdown for the Raiders with a 39 yard burst late in the third quarter. Rozier was named the Gateway Tire and Service Player of the Game.
