Pioneer dressed 23 last night, 9 not dressed for variety of issues. If there’s a bright spot for Pioneer it has to be they return all 22 starters next year.
Culver hit two big pass plays and scored on one. Pioneer led 45-6 start of third w running clock. Pioneer Jv played second half Culver punched in two. Pioneer bigger concern is 5-6 starters left game with leg injuries. Never seen so many
Sorry, just going off games I saw and maxpreps showed both OT’s, TE, and Qb (although maybe not on field qb)
Both DE’s, DT, both inside LBers, corner and safety weren’t seniors?
maxpreps listed Sr…maybe their class wrong
Culver
SC
Carroll
All eyes will be on 3A #5 Knox at 1A #1 North Judson..Knox lost a lot up front on both sides of the ball, but return arguably two of the best RB’s in northern part of state. NJ returns basically everyone from SS team. I think NJ will do enough to contain the great backs of Knox.
Laville
NM
Pioneer
West Central
NJ is clear favorite based on returning players
that said NJ plays 3A #1 Knox week 1
Pioneer plays Knox week 2
Pioneer has played tons of freshman/sophs last two years and only have a couple seniors this season. Find out pretty quick where they are opening up with Cass and Knox
both Zachary and Kiser were option style power runners….nothing new to evaluate and base opinions for qb play on throwing the ball.
Zachary (senior year was 2008 btw)believe was 2-0 against LCC both in playoffs and Kiser’s teams played LCC four straight years in playoffs. Kiser scored 16 rushing td’s in those four games. Couple of those games were real classics.
And PFF has Kiser as the highest rated returning linebacker in college football for 2024.
From QB at Pioneer to 3-yr starting linebacker at Notre Dame. Kind of crazy.
So the kid who won it who was multiple state champ, 3rd all-time scorer, top 5 all-time rusher, 3-yr starter at top 15 power 5 school at a defensive position he never played in high school and will play in the league as well makes it a joke.
Yikes.
Didn’t think Lutheran used the last minute and change very well. Could have called a TO after forcing a punt. Instead let the clock run out. That dangerous of a passing game kind of surprised me
AC only down 14 seems like 30. Must get stop opening drive.
