Closing out their 3 day trip to Tampa on Saturday morning, the Lady Raider basketball team squared off Spruce Creek out of Port Orange, Florida. Tied at the half, the Lady Raiders saw the Lady Hawks erupt for 48 second half points as Coffee County fell 68 to 55. The loss ends the tournament for the Lady Raiders.
In a low scoring first half, Coffee County and Spruce Creek were tied at 20 entering intermission. The Lady Hawks opened up the second half red hot as they drilled 8 shots from behind the 3 point arc in the final half to build some separation. Trailing by 7 points entering the 4th quarter, Coffee County could not overcome the pressure defense of Spruce Creek in the 4th quarter as they dropped their 3rd straight contest.
The Lady Raiders were led in scoring by Abby Morgan who had 17 points. Bella Vinson added 16 points and Jacey Vaughn chipped in 15.
Coffee County returns to the court on Thursday in a non-district battle with the rival Pioneers of Warren County. That doubleheader will take place in McMinnville and Thunder Radio will be on hand to bring you all the action. Our live coverage begins with the Char-El Apartments and Home Rental Pregame Show at 5:50. Tipoff is set for 6 PM at Warren County High School.
