I gotta go Winamac lost 4 4 year starters, 4 3 year starters and 3 3 year varsity guys. That's pretty tough to replace and the Winamac faithful knew it was going to be a down season. Pioneer was eventually going to have a down year but when I saw them week 2, I didn't think they'd be 2-7. Quote
AubbeenaubbeeCav Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Caston beating West Central may be a stretch, but wouldn’t be surprised if the last place team in the HNAC (Caston) beats the 1st place team in the MWC (West Central). The quality of play between the two conferences is isignificant Quote

If the Caston kids can get their heads up this week and play with some intensity, I wouldn't put it past them to upset the Trojans. Quote
FinePrint Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Triton at Pioneer has me a little nervous. I just don't see the Panthers going out without a fight. That program has too much pride to roll over. Quote

I gotta go I'm too busy with kids, work, and school these days, plus I don't even live in the area anymore. I haven't been to a game in 4 years, although I do watch here and there online. All good things come to an end eventually and Pioneer had one heck of a run. Hopefully it's a mere bump in the road and Pioneer will be back before too long. Quote
NLCTigerFan07 Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Not necessarily a topic for the sectional games, but just thought it was interesting to see the conference standings be perfectly balanced. I always love it when things like that happen. 1 1 Quote

Pioneer just has lapses of play where they throw a pick/fumble/ get a punt blocked for score/ start missing tackles etc. Personally I dont think they are that far off being very competitive. Final Scores dont reflect it as Their youth has been exposed a bit but best thing about all those freshmen starters is they become sophomores. Quote

I thought they'd be 5-4 or so, I heard the injury bug hit them. Small senior and junior class that seems not to work as hard as previous classes have at Pioneer so I've heard and that's the right mentality to have. It sucks they are killing killed as freshman but once they are juniors and seniors. They'll be doing the killing. That's what I always told some of the '22 kids from winamac. You'll take your lumps now but eventually you'll be the one giving instead of taking. Edited October 17, 2022 by WalterSobchak Quote

Judson beat us 55-8 last Friday and we had more positive takeaways than probably any game this season. Pioneer was inside Judson's 10 twice and came away with 0 points, dumb mistakes kept them out. Promising thing about the longer drive was that on the Oline there were all freshmen and 1 senior from tackle to tackle. Defense played okay for a half, but they were finally playing with some emotion and passion. Triton is a very good team, I just think if our kids can play a whole game for the first time this season we can pull out the upset. Score was 7-0 Triton going into half. Going into the 4th quarter, I believe the score was 14-6, a couple injuries and youth showed themselves and Triton ran away in the 4th. It should be a great game and a fun atmosphere going into Friday night. Quote

I had more positives against LaVille and North Judson as a winamac fan then almost every game they've played this season and that's including the Culver/WC losses and the two wins. When you can move the ball and drive against good teams, it should give you the confidence to be able to do it to others but with youth.. they'll play better against good teams and worse against the lesser teams.

We've only had one varsity home game since week 4 and due to low numbers only a handful of JV games on it this season. Quote
RingLeader Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 According to Sagarin Pioneer played the toughest schedule in 1A Hopefully that helps them🥴 Quote
