Alaina Lusk was named the Gateway Tire and Service Center Player of the Game. The Lady Raiders improved their season record to 13 and 11 and their district record to 5 and 1.
The boy’s game started strong for the Raiders but the Jets kicked in the afterburners and the Raiders fell by a final score of 63 to 51. Coffee County led 15 to 14 at the end of the first quarter, but a cold shooting touch all night ended their hopes of the road upset. Lance Crismond was the leading scorer for Coffee County with 21 points while Addison Carter added 9 points. Lance Crismond was named the Gateway Tire and Service Center Player of the Game. The Raiders record fell to 9-14 on the year and they are now 1 and 5 in district play.
