Maybe all it took for the Warren County High School football team to play its best game this season was to see its rivals across the sidelines.The Pioneers (0-5) battled the Cookeville Cavaliers to a 10-10 stalemate at halftime before giving up 28 straight points in the second half to fall 38-16 at home in the District 6-AAA matchup.The Cavaliers’ (3-2) second-half rally ruined a record-setting performance by Pioneer sophomore quarterback Hunter Mullican. Mullican threw for over 300 yards, finishing 26-of-46 for 311 yards and his first touchdown pass of the year.Mullican’s first-half touchdown toss to D’Andre League gave the Pioneers their first lead of the season, 10-3 with 3:45 left in the second quarter, but Cookeville answered back with a touchdown in the final 30 seconds of the half and would use the momentum to rally for a big second half. Coach Tommy Johnson saw improvement all around from his team.
