The Red Raiders had a slight edge in the first quarter, outscoring the Colts 10-6, then Coffee County erupted for 22 points in the second to help rack up a halftime lead of 32-11.

Coffee County’s defense kept the Colts to just six points in the second half, which allowed the Red Raiders to pull away with a 48-17 win.

With the victory, the Red Raiders improve to 5-5 on the season.
