The Coffee County boys’ soccer team closed out its regular-season district schedule by cruising to a home win Thursday night.

Hosting Lincoln County two days after a loss to Warren County, the Red Raiders bounced back with a 9-0 shutout victory over the Falcons at Raider Academy.

Coffee County got out to a quick start, scoring seven goals in the first half. The Red Raiders added two more in the second and kept Lincoln County out of the net to preserve the shutout.

The win put Coffee County at 6-6-1 overall and 6-3-1 in Class 3A District 9 play.

Raiders fall short in loss to Warren

Coffee County gave itself chances up until the clock struck zero, but ultimately opened its week with a home district loss last Tuesday night.

Hosting Warren County in a rematch of last week’s 2-2 draw in Mc-Minnville, the Red Raiders climbed back into it but were unable to complete the comeback in a 4-3 loss. The result followed a 1-0 home district win over Franklin County the Friday before.

The Pioneers jumped out to an early first-half lead, opening it up with four unanswered goals through the 13:19 mark.

Still down by four with less than five minutes until the break, Coffee County got on the board when Will Rogers sent a penalty kick into the back of the net with 4:21 remaining. Kameron Pobanz added another Red Raider goal with less than a minute left until halftime, cutting the Warren County lead to 4-2 heading into the second.

After 20 scoreless minutes to open the second half, Coffee County moved one step closer to Warren County on a goal from Michael Vieras with 19:11 left to play. The Red Raiders continued to have multiple scoring opportunities over the game’s remainder, but were unable to deliver the equalizer before time expired.
