itiswhatitis Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) But this game isn't until next week according to the schedule. Hobart is at Chesterton this week and Pioneer plays Cass. Or are these games that have been changed? Edited August 21, 2020 by itiswhatitis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are young, but they have Clay Mannering on as head coach who has been coaching at the college level for a few years. Clay also has a hall of fame coach roaming the sidelines in his father Scott. Cass will be well coached and ready to play every Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I'd go with Pioneer. Chesterton best boy fall athletes are on the soccer team. Football kind of takes a back seat. Trojans have never won a sectional title in football in school history. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football kind of takes a back seat. Trojans have never won a sectional title in football in school history. One thing to remember though is a 6a school has hundreds upon hundreds of athletes to choose from and a 1a (school size), 2a (competition level due to success) will weigh on the Panthers. In most cases a bad 6a school would beat a good 1/2a school. No disrespect to Pioneer here because I think the panthers will make it a good game, but it'll be a different style of play Pioneer is used to seeing. Just my 2 cents...

RegionFBFan Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Chesterton by 3 td's unless some big injuries in week 1. QG for Chesterton is real deal. Pioneer pass defense will be tested all night long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer will definitely be tested through the air, but that Chesterton's line will weigh on Pioneer as the game goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegionFBFan Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Agree with your assessment on 6A size and depth taking a toll on 2A/3A opponents. Having watched Andrean play 6A competition over the years, you see the wear down effect in second half. Andrean has a bit of a gauntlet; scrimmaged Valpo last week, @Merrilville tonight, @ Lake Central next week, home against New Prairie week 3. We will see the wear down impact for a few weeks. I'm just happy we are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they had returning. Cass is super young. They only return 4 kids that started last year. I believe they'll be maybe a 2 to 3 win team with their schedule... If they played Winamac's schedule, or Pioneers (before season started). Theyd finish 3-6 to 4-5. Winamac's old football coach is an assistant on staff there. Got a mix of seniors, juniors and Sophs playing.. They got 2 freshman that impressed me in Frye and Hillis.

FarmerFran Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Coach Nowlin said: BREAK OUT THE GOATS Pioneer has installed new obstacles this season with the addition of mole runs. Sadly, this is not sarcasm. There are bare dirt spots (earlier than normal this year) from moles allowed to run rampant on the visitor sideline. During our self scrimmage this season we could only use half of the field because a mole trap was never removed by our maintenance staff.

Tommy Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Congrats on the 20-16 win Pioneer. Chesterton is what DT would describe as a country club sport school. Don't schedule the Trojans in soccer, golf or swimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldunclemark Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it’s never happened and 1A vs 5A in the old system couldn’t have had more than a handful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
