Close doesn't even come near describing the Red Raiders game last night with cross county rival Tullahoma. With 4.5 seconds showing on the clock, the ball on the sideline, and up one; Coffee County's inbound pass was stolen and Tullahoma scored as time expired to take game one of the rivalry. The Red Raiders played their best game of the year, 32 minutes of great defense and patience on offense kept them in the game. The Red Raiders roared to a 12-0 start in the first period. Tullahoma scratched their way back and cut the lead to two at halftime. The second half was a see-saw battle that saw a few lead changes. Although the hurt from this loss is hard to put into words, the guys really learned some things about themselves in this game. The rematch with Tullahoma is slated for Feb. 11.

The Red Raiders got in an early hole down 10 points in the first period. They scratched their way back and took a 12 point lead with 2:30 left in the game only to let it slip away. The game went to overtime where Shelbyville would eventually do enough for a 7 point win.
The varsity Red Raiders had a tall order in trying to slow down Shelbyville's offensive attack and came up short. The Raiders showed some good things in the loss. They put together a nice run to start the second halfand continued to play hard despite the adversity. Three days of practice now will be used to try to polish some things up and work on areas that need to be fixed to get back on the winning track.
