Pioneer Ethan Cowan breaks up a pass intended for DeKalb Countys Braxton Linder. It was an all-around stellar game for Cowan, who also had a rushing TD, and an interception.
If things got much worse, DeKalb County quarterback Tyler Cantrell would have needed a restraining order against the Pioneer defense.Cantrell was pounded for 6 sacks and picked off for 3 interceptions in an epic display of manhandling by the Pioneers.Warren County rode the tenacity of its defense to a 26-10 victory Friday night at Nunley Stadium. DeKalb County scored on its first two possessions, but was smothered the rest of the way. During one stretch in the second half, Cantrell threw 3 interceptions in the span of 4 passes under relentless pressure.“He’s a good pocket passer so we thought we better get to him,” said WCHS head coach Tom Moore.
