Readers of “On This Day” can’t get enough of the 2010s.

In a Twitter poll ran Sunday on @SimmonsSaysWC, last decade got over 40 percent of the votes, making 2010-19 the focal point of this week’s features.

April 27 was a popular day last decade, with five issues featuring a range of topics. In 2016, the WCMS softball team took top honors as it celebrated a CTC championship with a win over Coffee County. It was a sign of things to come at WCHS for the softball program, as some of those 2016 champions would go on to be a part of a regular-season title in 2017, tournament title in 2018 and region championship in 2019. Some of those wins were remembered by Gooby Martin and his players in recent issues of the Standard.

In the same April 27, 2016, edition, the WCMS soccer team was celebrating its fourth straight CTC title with a win over rival Harris, 3-1. Matt Jackson presided over a dynasty at WCMS, something he touched on in a coaching spotlight with the Standard.

In other April 27 editions, action at McMinnville Civic Center was cranking up (2011), WCHS softball took down Cookeville (2012), Lauren Wilkinson signed a softball scholarship (2012), WCHS soccer and softball were each celebrating wins on senior night (2014), WCHS baseball swept Rhea County (2018) and runners were returning to McMinnville after participating in the Boston Marathon (2018).

Just a reminder, ‘On This Day’ decade voting will take place each Sunday on the Warren County Sports Authority Twitter @SimmonsSaysWC. Readers can make their selections on what decade to feature each week (the same decade will not run on back-to-back weeks).

Also, if you want to feature your Warren County athlete in the ‘On This Day’ online feature, send a picture and their age to sports@southernstandard.com. Please send all submissions by 10 a.m. on the athlete’s birthday.

Lastly, if a business would like to sponsor ‘On This Day’ on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, please contact advertising@southernstandard.com.
