Randolph Scores Two Times, but the Raiders Fall on the Road

October 28, 2023

Xavier Randolph scored twice for Coffee County on Friday night at Blackman, but it was not as the Blaze defeated the Red Raiders 31-14.

Coffee County (2-8) had its chances to score more. The Red Raiders recovered the opening kickoff after Blackman fumbled. After the drive stalled, Coffee County missed a 34-yard field goal. A fumble at the 3-yard line and an interception in the end zone stopped two other scoring opportunities.

Randolph scored on a 30-yard punt return after Blackman only managed a short kick after a fumbled snap. Freshman quarterback Kaysen Lowery entered the game in the fourth quarter and led the Raiders down the field. Lowery was 4-for-4 for 73 yards, finishing his only offensive series with a 49-yard TD pass to Randolph.

Brendon Sheppard was named the Rooster 101.5, Giles Dunn Diamond Company Player of the Game. Shepperd hardly comes off the field and had a very consistent year, and we felt that he deserved one of the awards.
