Plus blocked extra point I still think LaVille is the beat team in that conf but that LaVille Judson is gonna be a doozy. Pioneer on the verge of their first losing season since the 95 campaign. First time they've lost TWO conference games since 2001. Wow. Didn't think it'd come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know everyone thinks that LaVille / Judson game is for the conference title, but I would advise the Judson faithful not to overlook the Trojans this Friday.

I don't think that will be an issue. I think Quinton Frasure, Logan Radtke, Cheyenne Allen and Aldric Harper are good enough leaders that it won't happen.

I don't know Cheyenne at all but I'm really impressed with the young man. First time I ever heard him speak.. I was standing next to Rabe and Paul Frasure at the Winamac vs West Central game. He came over and told Rabe and Paul that he was gonna run right through winamac's outside linebackers cause they aren't any good and he said some other things I won't say but the kid talks the talk and walks it too. I know he and Quinton frasure took the AC game last year personally as did some of the others. I think they are motivated to get back to SS and win it.

So why not pick the other team? Seems as though he is covering all the bases! I interpreted Walter's post as him believing that three games would probably be tightly contested. He picked three teams winning by 12, 9, and 3. Those sound like close games to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any insight into why Pioneer's numbers are down despite the fact that their enrollment has increased in the past few years? Why haven't any new Pioneer state championship signs been posted on the edges of town for any of the recent titles in four sports? Where is the sign bragging about Jack Kiser being Mr. Football? I was told before that it wasn't in the budget, but surely a few of the areas wealthy farmers and business owners could come up with the funds, right? Has it not been in the budget due to the recent field renovations? I bring this up because these are the types of small things that continue to motivate the students to pursue excellence. If I was a kid and saw a picture of Jack Kiser everyday, I would want to grow up to be just as successful as he was! Jack, as the first and only 1A Mr. Football, is a continuous inspiration to the entire community. Edited September 24, 2022 by AG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Kiser gone, maybe the good football players are going back to Logansport to play for the old Pioneer coach. Going from 1a to 2a back to 1a can also hurt a team.

There haven't been any high-profile Logan/Pioneer transfers that I'm aware of. Pioneer was supposed to be down this year and it's looked that way for a while. They're in a down cycle talent wise right now. According to Maxpreps, the roster has 38 this year and 34 during the past two seasons, but they only had 33 on the roster during Kiser's senior year. In 2015 there were 47 players, and in 2016 there were 58 players on the roster. I just assumed that the roster size would balloon after they won a couple of state titles, but it hasn't apparently.

LaVille and Judson will take a step back but will be solid. I think Triton may be the only one that sees a decent drop off but will have their QB and RB still.

Just a opinion here but maybe when pioneer was up a ton at state you let those kids that took a beating against the varsity all year get in the game instead of playing the starters all game . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RingLeader Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Gotta come down a little at some point. especially at a small school.

WalterSobchak Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Jimtown fell back down, so did Penn. Pioneer eventually would too. They play lots of younger kids and have a decent 8th grade class so they'll be fine. Then again North Judson and LaVille have good sophomores and a solid 8th graders...then you have Caston who is killing every team they play. I just think it's more Pioneer coming back down to reality and other schools catching up. Edited September 25, 2022 by WalterSobchak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, why don't you tell us the reason Pioneer is so bad. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
