Softball has had plenty of star performances on April 28 in the 2010s.

Both the 2017 (pictured above) and 2019 teams took home wins on senior night, part of seasons where the Lady Pioneers would win championships. The 2017 season saw Warren County win its first district championship in program history, something the team talked about recently.

Just last year, the Lady Pioneers were on the march toward greatness by April 28. Warren County had history again, winning the 2019 region championship. The senior class left as the most decorated in school history, with two district titles and a region championship under its belt. Three members of the senior class – Emily Mikkola, Hailey Wood and Ashton Whiles – signed scholarships and were Day 1 starters in college.

In other April 28 editions, the Pioneer baseball team broke a losing streak with a win on senior night (2010), Donnie Harris was named WCMS football coach (2013), Pioneer soccer picked up its first win (2013), WCHS and WCMS baseball were each celebrating wins (2017) WCHS soccer beat White County (2017) and Covenant picked up a big victory over its rival (2019).
