Pioneers kick their way past White County
Placeholder Image
It must’ve felt like déjà vu for the Warren County High School soccer team following its win Tuesday night in White County.Just three days after beating the Warriors 2-1 in the Franklin County Rebel Classic, the Pioneers went on the road and won in Sparta by the same 2-1 score.While the outcome remained the same, coach Todd Willmore noted it came in much different fashion. After getting two goals from Ethan Bandy early to win Saturday, the Pioneers had to play from behind to beat White County on its home turf.Warren County controlled action for most of the first half, but the Warriors made the most of their lone shot on goal in the first 40 minutes. Nearly 20 minutes into the match, White County launched an offensive and was able to get a shot past Pioneer keeper Jacob Dodd to lead 1-0.While Warren County had several chances to score in the first half, no shot found the back of the net and the Pioneers went to halftime trailing by one.White County looked content on sitting on the lead in the second half as the home team devoted most of its energy to defense.
