Coffin scores twice as Raiders roll

from staff reports

Robert Coffin hauled in 15 pass receptions and a pair of touchdowns to help Lamar School beat visiting Oak Hill Academy 35-6 in area high school football action from late Friday.

Lamar, which ran its record to 6-2 on the season, will host Madison-Ridgeland Academy next week. Oak Hill fell to 1-7.

The host Raiders got on the board first with a 12-yard touchdown run from Bo Bidgood. Tyler Roberts added the point-after kick — the first of his five successful extra points on the night.

Coffin's first touchdown came on a 7-yard scoring toss from Witt Haggard, then Haggard found Coffin again from 28 yards out to make it a 21-0 game.

Lamar went ahead 28-0 on a 15-yard touchdown run by Robert Thomas, and the Raiders closed out the scoring with a 9-yard touchdown run by Bidgood.

Haggard finished 18-of-23 passing for 262 yards and the two scores for Mac Barnes' bunch, while Coffin hauled in 15 passes for 199 yards.

Oak Hill's only score came on a fumble return in the fourth quarter.

— Rocky Higginbotham
