WCMS nabs 2nd victory

It’s early in the season, but already Warren County has a team with a perfect record. Friday night the WCMS Lady Pioneer soccer squad improved to 2-0 on the year by dropping Coffee County Middle 2-0 at the WCHS soccer field.

The middle school Lady Pioneers controlled the game from the opening whistle, and just three minutes into the contest Warren County had what would appear to be the first goal of the game. But an offside call took the goal off the scoreboard.

But the Lady Pioneers continued to fire shot after shot at the Coffee County net as the Lady Red Raider defense had problems keeping up with Warren County’s speed.

Lady Pioneer Lauren Wilkinson took the ball down the side and found Kimberly Warden, who scored 18 minutes in to put Warren County out in front 1-0.

In the second half Coffee County made a few adjustments, hoping to slow the pace of the game. But Warren County’s dominance continued. The Lady Pioneers attempted six goals during the first 15 minutes of the second half, but they come up short on each attempt.

Warren County’s persistence paid off, however, when Nicole Mullican took a pass from Lauren Roller and hit the back of the net to give the Lady Pioneers a 2-0 lead and secure their second win of the season.

‘I was very happy with the way we played,’ said coach Alan Brownyard. ‘I thought we controlled the game in both periods, but especially in the first half. Lyndi Dodd did a good job at keeper for us and Mary Ann Haley and Fran DuVall played well at mid-field. We need to continue to improve and work on following out shots.’

The Lady Pioneer junior varsity team defeated Coffee County 1-0 as Peyton Wanamaker scored the winning goal for Warren County.

Next up for the middle school squad will be Harris Middle school on Monday. The Lady Pioneer have fallen to Harris Middle the last three seasons.
