The Southern Standard is quite a good source !!

The coach has a great background!! You can get on here and pi$$ and moan all you want but the decision has been made and there is absolute nothing you can do about it. Either support the program or not. Pioneer baseball will ok.

Coaching!!!!!

wow, great 1st post! If you that concerned maybe you should ask the coach or setup a meeting with the AD. It's not like it would be a "POWER"meeting

Riverdale has improved this season but Blackman still has to many weapons and wins 35-14

Pioneer fans can only hope it is his last game. I think they are currently dressing around 40 players.

this game has been moved to Thursday night.

We can only hope that Oakland will be looking ahead to the 1st round of the playoffs and sitting many if not all of the starters. Still looking at a running clock.

This game has been moved to Thursday 7pm

Pioneers will have to wait until practice this afternoon to see how many parents let their little Johnny's come back to face the big bad GIANTS of rutherford co.

or the Vols playing Georgia and Alabama

I think Cookeville grinds this one out to lock up a playoff spot.

According to the Power Rankings for this week, Warren County will be a 56 point underdog. What is your prediction for the total points scored this week?

Pioneer fans have to face the reality that we are not a good team this year. We are a team with only 40 players, absolutely no passing game at all with little to no speed. Our only hope for a win now rest solely on the coffee county game and the future of football in Warren county is hanging by a thread.

what will we see out of Warren Co now the Moore has taken over as offensive cord.?

The is by far the best thing for this team, he should have never been in that position to begin with.

the last 3 plays of last nights game is the S.O.P. for the Pioneers, mass dysfunction.

WC is on a downward path to destruction right now. With the current district, nobody wants to play against the big bad boro schools. The freshman class has less than 5 players.

I hate to say it but this game could be a toss up! The question will be who wins the distinction of having the most players dressed out

the county is not going to fund another high school and middle school for the purpose of changing football districts. That's foolish thinking.

it's been real quite from the Warren County fans

Congratulations to Cookeville and Warren Co making it to tonights district championship and next weeks Region games.

Final district standings 1- Cookeville 10-2 2- Warren County 9-3 3- White County 6-6 4- Rhea County 5-7 5- Stone Memorial 0-12 Good Luck to all the teams in the District tournament

what violations? Softball has been a well run program for years.
