Coffee County boys’ basketball traveled to Winchester on Thursday night to take on Franklin County.
It was a tight game throughout the first half, as the Raiders led 12-11 after the first quarter and 24-19 at halftime. After the third, Coffee County remained in front of the home-standing Rebels 37-31. The Raiders extended their lead to 14 in the second half, only to have Franklin County make a run and cut the advantage to only 4 points. Coffee County (9-9) was able to pull away for good and took the win, 57-48.
Cooper Reed was named the Dr Jay Trussler Player of the Game as he pumped in 24 points for the Raiders. Jackson Shemwell had a solid night with 11, and Cayden Trail hit double-figure scoring with 10. Courtland Farrar chipped in with 9 points, and Jaiden Warren added 3.
