The Red Raider offense could not establish a rhythm on Friday night as they dropped a heart breaking 13 to 7 decision to Warren County in double overtime. Managing just 5 first downs in the game, Coffee County was held to 54 yards in the first half and 167 yards in the game. The 2 teams failed to score until the 4th quarter when each added a touchdown. In the first overtime, both teams missed field goals before Coffee County fumbled the football in the 2nd overtime. Warren County was able to punch the winning touchdown in to send Coffee County to their 7th straight loss.
Offensively, Alontae Taylor rushed 14 times for 66 yards and had the lone Red Raider touchdown. Colton Prater Ran the ball 7 times for 34 yards and passed the ball 14 times with 6 completions for 42 yards. Luke Barger was named the Thunder Radio/Crazy Daisies Player of the Game.
