Samuel Griffin PhotoAfter 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.

Jones, 29, had 34 catches for 321 yards and two touchdowns in nine games (seven starts) last season.

The antitrust class action lawsuit levied against the NCAA may not go to trial as college sports leaders are in talks to settle, per an ESPN report on Monday. The plaintiffs in the case, House vs. NCAA, have accused the NCAA and its power conferences of breaking federal law by limiting how athletes can benefit from selling their name, image or likeness. If the case were to go to trial - set for January 2025 -- and the plaintiffs win, the NCAA and its schools could have to shell out more than $4 billion in damages. NCAA president Charlie Baker, NCAA lawyers, the plaintiffs' attorneys have been meeting with the power conference commissioners and their general counsels in the Dallas area, with talks ramping up of late, per the report. Per the report, more information regarding a possible settlement is expected to be released soon, though no deal is close to completion. The settlement - which could cost the NCAA billions in back pay for former athletes -- could be the foundation for the NCAA sharing revenue with athletes in the future. Although it has not been settled, the top-end revenue share amount per school would be around $20 million every year. Another issue the NCAA faces is college athletes aiming to be viewed as employees and allowing them to unionize, with the National Labor Relations Board reviewing a pair of cases. While NCAA leaders are against athletes becoming employees, Baker has looked into methods to provide more revenue to athletes at some schools. In December, he proposed a subdivision of the richest programs to pay $30,000 per year to half their athletes or more. The NCAA wants Congress to enact a clause specifying that college athletes aren't employees, but there hasn't been much progress on that front. A multi-billion settlement toward revenue sharing with athletes may lead Congress to help govern college sports. --Field Level Media
