As sports continue to await word about the possible lifting of suspended seasons, the Standard would like to debut a new web-only segment, "On This Day." We hope to update it daily, bringing you some of the biggest moments in Warren County sports history (focusing mainly on the last 51 years since the school consolidation and formation of Warren County Senior High), as well as some famous birthdays and big national stories.

Nowadays, everybody knows Matt Turner can draw huge crowds to Nunley Stadium. But there’s proof the ol’ ball coach could do it back in 2005 too. In the March 25, 2005 edition of the Standard, Turner was front and center leading over 100 WCMS football players through spring practice.

Preparations for this year's spring practice were starting before schools shut down last week. Turner is still hopeful he can take his current crop of WCHS Pioneers back on the gridiron later this spring.

In the meantime, take a trip back in the Standard vault and read about Turner’s arrival at WCHS and some of his biggest wins of 2019 – DeKalb County, Rockvale and Siegel.

He’s not the only local celebrity who was pictured coaching on March 25. Former sheriff Jackie Matheny is no stranger to the football field, as evidenced by this March 25 edition from 1994.

Also on March 25, there was Barbara Biles claiming TSSAA all-tournament honors (1974), a new batch of Pioneerettes were selected (1983), A.L. Williams, featuring the Luna family, Franklin Fisher and Dale Stubblefield, was winning a local volleyball tournament (1985), Dodd Mullican was getting hits for the WCSH Pioneers (1992), Brandon Lowry was catching for the Pioneers (1994), Jacob Wilson was beating the Blackman Blaze at tennis (2005), an all-county basketball team was honored (2009), Taylor Grissom led the Lady Pioneer softball team to victory (2012) and Brooks Helton was doing big things for the WCHS Pioneers (2018).
