After losing their first district game of the season on Monday, the CCCHS Red Raiders beat Warren County 3-0 on Tuesday night for a season sweep of the Pioneers.

The game would start off slow for the Red Raiders, but in the 21st minute, Patrick Brown scored his fourth goal of the season to give Coffee County a 1-0 lead, which they took into the halftime break. 

Coffee County would have many more scoring chances in the second half, and in the 56th minute, Colton Ferrell fired one in for his first goal of the season to give the Red Raiders a 2-0 lead. Joel Barrera would get credit for the assist.

Warren County would have a chance to cut the lead in half with a penalty kick at the 72 minute mark, but Brayden Trail came up with a big save to keep the score at 2-0.

Five minutes later, the Red Raiders scored again, as Cayden Trail capitalized on a free kick by Izick Sierra, and the Red Raiders held on for the 3-0 win. 

“We played a lot better than we did last night, but we did not play particularly well in the first half,” said coach Robert Harper. “Our touches were not very good in that first half, but we stepped it up in the second half and I was happy about that.”

With the win, the Red Raiders got their fifth shutout win of the season, and improved their record to 7-1-2 with a 2-1-2 mark in district play.

The next match for Coffee County will be a home game against Spring Hill on Thursday, Apr. 18 at 6:00 pm.
