It’s time to hit the hardwood.
Coffee County Central Red Raider and Lady Raider basketball teams hit the floor this week and the schedule gets busy in a hurry for both teams.
The Red Raiders will host a boys only game Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. against Boyd Buchanan.
Both teams will be busy Saturday in a Hall of Champions playday in Manchester. The Lady Raiders will play twice: 2:15 p.m. against Columbia Academy and 6:30 p.m. against Central Magnet. Both games will be at Coffee Middle School. The Raider boys will also play two games, hosting Page at 11:15 a.m. and York at 7:30 p.m. at CHS’ Joe Frank Patch Memorial Gymnasium.
Both teams will play in Thanksgiving tournaments the following week, with the Lady Raiders traveling east for pre and post Thanksgiving tournaments and the Raider boys hosting the inaugural Dusty Elam Thanksgiving Tournament on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 25 and 26. The first traditional girls-boys double header will be Nov. 28 when both teams travel to Blackman.
As always, Thunder Radio WMSR will be your home for approximately 40 broadcasts this winter, including multiple holiday tournament games and all double-header action. Our full broadcast schedule for boys and girls is below (subject to change based on personnel and school schedule changes).
