Last week, the Warren County Middle School soccer team had a pair of road games. On Friday the Pioneers tied Tullahoma 3-3 and on Monday in Winchester, the middle school rolled over Franklin County North 6-1.
Against Tullahoma the game started off with very physical play from both teams. Tullahoma went on the offensive attack first with several shots being fired at the Pioneer goal. But Warren County?s keeper Chad Womack turned down shots keeping the game scoreless.
Warren County scored first when Carlos Lopez hit the back of the net. But Tullahoma matched downfield and tied the game at 1-1 . The Pioneers took the ball and had several attempts on goal, but it would be Tullahoma finding its second goal at the 24-minute mark.
Just before the half Adam Fann took a pass from Daniel Castillo and scored to tie the game at 2-2.
Two-minutes into the second half Lopez scored on a header with a pass from Mac Britton, giving the Pioneers a 3-2 lead. The Pioneers continued to play aggressive and control the tempo of the game. But with two-minutes left in the game Tullahoma tied the game at 3-3 as the game ended in a tie.
The Pioneers dominated play against Franklin County using their quickness through out the first half. It didn?t take long for the Pioneers to post the first score of the game when Adam Fann found the back of the net. Alex Serna scored on a header from a corner kick from Fann to take a 2-0 lead.
Franklin County scored just before the half from a direct kick as the Pioneers took a 2-1 lead into the break.
Warren County?s play in the second half continued to give Franklin County problems. Carlos Lopez scored for the Pioneers two-minutes in and five minutes later Fann scored his second goal of the game.
The Pioneers? defense of Cole Warden, Ivan Barrera and Ridge Reynolds kept Franklin County off the board in the second half. Before the final whistle blew Lopez found the back of the net two more times to secure the Pioneer victory.
