It was a tough home loss Friday night at Charlie Dalton Gym as the Coffee County Lady Raiders beat Warren County for the third time this season.

Warren County missed four foul shots in the final :20 of play in suffering a 48-45 loss.

The Lady Pioneers took the lead with six minutes left when Shelby Smartt drained a 3-pointer to make it 35-34.

But the Lady Raiders showed why they are unbeaten in district play by maintaining their poise down the stretch and hitting clutch shots. 

In boys action, Pioneer Isaiah Cummings forced overtime with a tough shot in the lane to make it 43-43, but Warren County lost in OT, 50-46.

Nate Elrod gave the Pioneers the lead with a 3-point play in OT, but it would be the last points Warren County would score.
