All eyes are on the Central High School football team this week as the Red Raiders return to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
But in the background – winter sports are lurking and preparing. The Coffee County Central Red Raider and Lady Raider basketball teams will have their first official team practices on Monday, Nov. 1 in preparation for the Nov. 19 opener against Moore County.
The Lady Raiders are coming off a 28-2 season – returning all but one starter. Meanwhile, the Raiders made the deepest postseason run in program history last winter.
