Pioneers narrowly lose to still-undefeated Indians
Brandon-VelazquezWEB
Warren County Pioneer Brandon Velazquez fights for more yards in Friday nights game with Sequatchie County in Dunlap. The Pioneers' late-game rally almost brought home a second win for the team.
Reminiscent of the 1999 Titans/Rams Super Bowl finish when the Titans came a football’s length away from winning, so too the Warren County Pioneer football team found themselves in a position to both tie, and possibly win, Friday night’s away game in Sequatchie County.But, like the Titans, the Pioneers (0-4, 1-6) found themselves one score shy of a win when the final horn sounded and they lost their match with the Indians 33-27.Going into the second quarter, Warren County was down 12-0 in score, but not in spirit as they refused to acquiesce. They were able to find the end zone and cut the lead to 19-6. Another promising Warren County drive stalled, forcing the Pioneers to settle for a Jacob Morin field goal to cut their deficit to 19-9 with just seconds left in the first half.
