The Coffee County Central High School basketball season got underway on Friday night as the Lady Raiders opened the season with a pair of Hall of Champions games at the Joe Frank Patch Memorial Gym. The Lady Raiders opened the season with a pair of lopsided wins as they opened the night with a 74 to 38 win over Siegel. In the nightcap Coffee County dumped Clarksville Northeast 67 to 22.
Against Siegel, the Lady Raiders raced out to a 21 point lead after 1 quarter as their defensive pressure and tempo caused matchup problems for Siegel. Nine different Lady Raiders scored on the night led by Bella Vinson who had 15 points. Ashley Starks, Jacey Vaughn and Abby Morgan all scored 9 points and Keelie Hillis and Kiya Ferrell added 8 points apiece.
Against Northeast, Coffee County held the Clarksville squad to single digit totals in points each quarter. Freshman Kiya Ferrell was the leading scorer for Coffee County as she netted 12 points. Morgan added 11 points and Hillis and Emma Fulks each scored 8 points.
