Debuting in DeKalb County seems to do the trick for new Pioneer coaches.In the first game under Scott Smith, the Warren County High School football team picked up a 34-30 victory over the Tigers Friday, snapping a three-game losing streak in the rivalry. It was the first win for the Pioneers over DeKalb County since 2010, when Tommy Johnson started his four-year tenure with a 19-16 win in Smithville.This year’s contest saw Warren County dig a 10-point hole in the first quarter, only to storm back and take a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter. Junior quarterback Christian Wilkinson and a spectacular running game were the catalysts to a huge 27-point turnaround and helped the Pioneers win for the first time since beating Coffee County in their fourth game last season.Wilkinson, starting for the first time, finished 11-for-15 for 95 yards and one touchdown – a scoring toss just before halftime that gave the Pioneers a 21-17 lead.
