The Lady Pioneers held their hosts to seven points in the first half in Warren County’s 40-17 win Tuesday night at Eastside.

In the second period turnovers by Eastside gave Warren County most of its second quarter points. Tiffany Long scored at will for the Lady Pioneers as Warren County posted 25 points by halftime. Eastside managed five points in the second period with basket from Lauren Henderson and Vernon.
In the third period Warren County slowed things down but still hit the boards for six points with baskets from Linnsay Williamson, Long and Racheal Walker. Jessica Mullican had back to back baskets in the fourth, as Warren County scored nine straight points. Eastside scored the last six points of the game but it wasn’t meant to be as Warren County picked up the 23 point win.
