By the time the Lady Pioneers started playing their game in the District 6-AAA semifinal Tuesday night, it was too late.Warren County fell 3-2 against Stone Memorial as late goals from Saydee Winfree and Isabel Kirby weren’t enough to dig the Lady Pioneers out of a big hole against the Lady Panthers.Urgency seemed to be lacking from the start of Tuesday’s home game for the Lady Pioneers and coach Todd Willmore takes the blame for not having his team ready from the start.“Looking back on it, with a young team I should’ve put it on myself to get them motivated and excited to play,” said Willmore. “It’s my fault more than the girls. I should’ve put more emphasis on it.“It seems like at the end they realized this could be it.”Stone Memorial took a 1-0 lead in the first half before adding two goals early in the second half to push the Lady Pioneers to the brink.
