The Roman Empire lasted 507 years, and the United States is now 241 years old, so it was with a ring of truth that almost to a man, the 1992 State Championship Pioneer ring bearers, gathered together for a reunion dinner at Bridgestone Friday night, said the 25 years since has gone by in the wink of an eye.Never before or since has a boys sports team won a state championship for Warren County High School. The other thing they remember about the 1992 season was they were more like a band of brothers, having grown up together, played together and finally won the state championship the same way … together.“I watch professional sports, football, baseball and even at the high school level and they have all these tests,” said 1992 championship coach Ronnie Brown. “They have a test for how strong you are, a radar gun, stopwatches, biometrics, tests for bat speeds, but there’s no test for what really matters…how big is your heart?”The Bruce Springsteen song "Glory Days" accompanied a 20-minute highlight reel of the 1992 team’s path to the championship.
