Pioneer quarterback C.J. Taylor is listed as the No. 2 rusher in the state by MaXpreps, which keeps official stats for the TSSAA.

The Pioneer football team is busy preparing for undefeated Lawrence County this Friday night at Nunley Stadium, and Lawrence County is preparing to contain the state’s No. 2 rusher, C.J. Taylor. 

The official stats of the TSSAA is MaXpreps, which lists Taylor at No. 2 with 507 yards. The top rusher in the state has 548 yards and that’s Sebastian Baliles of Copper Basin.

Warren County High School officials are hoping for a big fan turnout to support the 3-0 Pioneers. They note Nunley Stadium is a very large facility where social distancing is possible.

During the Pioneers' one home game thus far this season, a 48-0 win over Cannon County, the stadium did not reach one-third capacity, or about 1,600 fans. But there were extenuating circumstances.

The game was moved up a day to Thursday night in hopes of avoiding severe weather, but it was still a drizzly night, which likely served to keep some fans away.

The football team is asking students and fans to wear red, white, and blue in commemoration of Sept. 11.
