Rutledge, Smith and Simmons combined to average 32 points in victories over Tullahoma and Franklin County and the seniors surpassed that number against the Lions.Rutledge was a catalyst in a 14-0 run during the third quarter that put the game out of reach.With Warren County leading 36-33, the senior shooting guard splashed in a 3-pointer from the left corner a minute into the second half which doubled the Pioneer lead.Rutledge added six free throws during the stretch, including swishing two after Cannon County’s coach was called for a technical that fired up the Pioneer fanbase.After a nifty no-look pass from D’Andre League gave Smith an easy layup, Rutledge drained a 3-pointer right in front of the student section that put the Pioneers up 50-33.Despite sinking only 6-of-12 free throws in the final quarter, the Pioneers never let the Lions get within single digits.The Pioneers looked like they would have trouble with the Lions in the opening period, especially point guard Cory Henley.
