Low sophomore and junior class numbers are killers for us. Poor team leadership from the senior class. This senior class has had one of the worst off season workout attendances of any team the last 20 years. Upper classmen want to be a part of the winning, but don’t want to put the work in to do it.

None of the kids on this team were even in high school when Pioneer last won state…

They’re not.

They gained a new OC but they're running the same stuff they have the last couple of years. (They do run it well). They don't do anything fancy, they just run behind their big oline and hit you with play action off of it.

I have a hard time naming either of these player of the year when they only play offense. Plummer only went in on defense against Pioneer when LaVille’s corner kept getting scorched by our 5’6” wideout. In a conference where a large number of kids play both ways, I think a POTY candidate should play both o and d.

Single wing heavy team with spread gun worked in. Very athletic group of skill position guys. For a 5A school they have quite a few guys playing both ways. I think the school has only been open for 2 years.

Panthers Jays Lancers Trojans Cavs

If you remember correctly, Pioneer and Judson both beat LaVille last season. It will be a tall order, but I think Pioneer can win this game. They will have to follow their week 3 game plan from last year, control the ball and the clock and keep the Lancer offense off the field. We are playing with a lot of youth, but we were able to knock those early jitters out in week 1. The Lancers will be one of, if not the best team on our regular season schedule and our kids understand that. However, they are embracing that challenge this week and preparing like they can win.

This was pointed out by Val of RTC Sports, but how in the world does Winamac receive votes in the 1A poll by our esteemed media when they aren't even in 1A?
