Patch hit both shots, putting the Lady Pioneers up by a point, 50-49. But alas, Coffee County made the most of the remaining ticks as Lady Raider Abby Morgan took the ball full court and hit a jumper, a buzzer-beater, for a Lady Raider win, 51-50.Coffee County’s Alliyah Williams appeared to be a foul magnet for the Lady Pioneers, as she went steadily to the line from the second quarter on.
