Wilson Central stunned the Pioneer faithful and defeated the Pioneers at Charlie Dalton Gym, 66-58.Pioneer head coach Chris Sullens said, “We played our best quarter of basketball this year in the first quarter, followed by three quarters of lethargic basketball.”After Dez Mason from Wilson Central went scoreless in the first two quarters, he put on a clinic in the second half and finished with a game-high 20 points.
