  That is a great win for Pioneer.  Does anyone know the last time a 1A school (Pioneer is not really 2A) defeated a Class 6A school?

I do not think it has ever happened. 

 

I wish I could have seen this game.

 

 

With this victory, I hereby declare the contraction movement dead.  This game was proof positive that rural schools with limited numbers and resources can get it done.  I salute the Panthers.

I bet you can find it on YouTube.com.

 

Do I have to do everything for you?

I think we all were.  Going forward, I’m hoping all of the little schools take a “Why not us?” approach to both practice and play.

So I guess this elevates Pioneer to the poser child position for small schools everywhere.  They are a 2A school even though they may have a 1A enrollment.  Still it's impressive to beat a top 25 6A team.  They'd get my vote now for #1 in the 2A polls.  Congrats.

There are only 32 total.

Has a 1a school ever played a 6a?

My friend @Rudy and Almanac Sports would be where I would go digging for those interested

So?  They STILL beat a 6A team who is ranked 21st in the Sags.

Good question, probably not because those schools are in the metro areas.

But if you want my 1A-6A inter-sectional games, here goes:

 

Crown Point-Switzerland County 

Warsaw-North Davies 

Noblesville-Culver

 

You’re welcome.

Yes, 1A LCC played 6A Jeff in 2017.  LCC and Jeff are roughly one mile apart from each other down Teal Road in Lafayette.  Jeff won 54-0.  This was the year that Coach O'Shea left and LCC went 2-7 in the regular season and finished the season 4-8 dropping the sectional final to eventual 2017 state champs, Pioneer.  In that year, Jeff went 10-1 dropping the sectional final to Carmel.

I was somehow thinking that.

Chesterton is 6A in enrollment only. But still impressive for Pioneer!

Isn’t enrollment what defines class primarily??

Yes but they are not a top 32 talent wise.

it was a very nice win for the Panthers. They should easily jump to number 1 in the 2a polls... and remain ther the rest of the season... as currently the record of the top 6..6-6     😉
