I'll take Knox BIG, Pioneer BIG, LaVille by 3 TDs, and Winamac BIG.

Add in the inevitable Pioneer vs Cass sectional rematch.

Pioneer 12 Knox 7 Final

Pioneer has a kid named Derek Wireman who racked up a lot of second half yards in blowouts. He had 336 yards rushing last year, 91 against Winamac on 12 carries.

Last year Kiser, Gregorich, and others would stay on the field for parts of the second half, but only on defense. When Pioneer played teams like Caston and North White, I recall the coaches playing some skill players out of position and giving the second team players reps in the first quarter. Pioneer was good enough that they could have possibly doubled their season scoring total.

But is the country stupid?

6A - Avon 5A - New Pal 4A - Mooresville 3A - Chatard 2A -Pioneer 1A - South Adams

National records.

Do you not trust Pioneer? What makes you think that Knox will actually win?

Personally, I'm more afraid of an 8 foot tall hot dog man chasing after me than a 10 inch tall Chihuahua nipping at my ankles.

Looks like he got under your skin.

Brissett completed his first 16 passes vs ATL and looked like a wizard in doing so. ATL struggles a bit defensively and this obviously isn't the norm, but it's great to know that Brissett is capable of playing at a high level.

Pioneer 60 Indianapolis Crispus Attucks 8 Pioneer was up 28-0 by the end of the 1st quarter.

They needed to add a team better than North White.

My favorite Colt was Griff Whalen until this play. https://youtu.be/wGNr3Yef-2A Link only for suspense.

That would work and would be in my backyard, although 4A Western might crush Pioneer in a few sports or when they're down. Maybe take away HH and add Peru and Maconaquah for 8.

Apparently the Indy front office wants to keep Vinny around. Personally, I'm not sure if the alternatives are any better with it being week 3.

Out of pure selfishness, I would love to see a team South of Pioneer join, due to the fact that I live an hour South of Pioneer and as of now I make it to 1-2 games a year. Luckily I have RTCTV4 to watch.

Nope. If Brohm takes Purdue to a Rose Bowl in a few years I'm sure that the blue bloods will be coming. I personally think that Brohm will stay a long time. Worst case I think one of his family members stays and continues Jeff's work.

My only qualm about the MWC currently is that the majority of the schools in that conference have major issues with very low numbers. Some of those programs are only a few unfortunate injuries from canceling their seasons or canceling a game or two, plus the 1A schools in the MWC have got to be consolidation risks. I guess it's a risk worth taking though from a competitive standpoint. It just amazes me how fortunate Pioneer has been lately with the talent of some of their programs, despite having an enrollment of 270ish. Pioneer had state finals appearances in three sports last year alone. It's crazy because a lot of the surrounding 1A schools struggle to even compete in many sports.

No doubt, good days are on the horizon! Unfortunately there are already people out there talking about replacing Brohm. Those people obviously don't follow the program very closely.

I've read reports that IU OL Coy Cronk was going to transfer to Purdue due to wanting to be closer to one of his grandparents, but then said grandparent passed away, so Cronk decided to stay at IU. If Cronk had transferred and Mendez had stayed, Purdue's line would be a strength.

I like the old MWC, but I'm glad that Pioneer got out of it when they did. Their schedule this year, if still in the old MWC, would probably be the worst in the state. It would have included Caston, North White, South Newton, Tri-County, and West Central, all programs that are extremely down this season. Pioneer would win all of these games by 60+.

Pioneer score was very close to your prediction!

Pioneer 72 Caston 6 with 4 minutes left in the 4th.
