WCHS JV blanked at home
The Lady Pioneer junior varsity team dropped to 1-2 on the season after falling to the Lady Rebels of Franklin 2-0 Thursday night.
Warren County battled the Lady Rebels in the first half as each team tried to mount an offensive attack. Lady Pioneer goalie April Burkett had two big saves early in the game, but with 6:45 left in the first period Franklin scored to take a 1-0 lead by halftime.
In the second period Warren County put together three big drives but the Lady Rebels cleared the ball stopping any chance of a Lady Pioneer goal. The two teams played solid on defense and Warren County did a much better job of passing and working the ball down the field.
The Rebels made it a 2-0 game with 10 minutes left to play after a Lady Rebel mid-fielder fired a shot to the bottom right corner of the net. The Lady Pioneers remained aggressive and kept pressure on the Franklin defense but time ran out on the Lady Pioneers as Franklin held on for the shutout.
“We did a great job against a very good team,” said coach Alan Brownyard. “We have several things to work on but the girls played hard and aggressive. We gave up one goal, which really shouldn’t have gone in and had a small breakdown on the other goal. It could had been a 0-0 or 1-0 game. This team is very eager to learn and very coachable and they’re making great strides.”
