The Pioneer Football Team was able to get back on the winning side of things last Friday against a tough Fairbury Jeff's team. It is always a goal for teams to start off fast and put together solid drives and the Pioneer's did just that. On the opening kickoff MJ Nelson followed a swarm of Pioneer blockers to take the kick to the house and spark the Pioneers with a 7-0 lead within the first 10 seconds of the contest. Not to be outdone, the Pioneer defense stepped up right away and caused a turnover on downs that resulted in a Bayler Poston 30 yard touchdown run. Eddie Gonzalez tacked on the extra point and within four minutes of the football game the Pioneers were leading 14-0.
Nebraska City never looked back and was able to end the first half with additional scores by Bayler Poston on an 68 yard touchdown pass from MJ Nelson, Braden Thompson on a 41 yard touchdown pass from MJ Nelson, and an additional 85 yard touchdown run by Bayler Poston. The Pioneers went to the locker room at half with a comfortable 35-0 lead on a night where Nebraska City High School was inducting its inaugural class of Nebraska City High School Hall of Fame. Eddie Gonzalez was perfect on the night (and on the season) going 5 for 5 on his extra point attempts, and Eddie also added 3 points to the board with a 27 yard field goal in the 4th quarter. The Pioneers finished the night with a victory of 38-6 and improved their record on the season to 4-2. Nebraska City will take on the Auburn Bulldogs on Friday 10/8 at Pioneer Field at 7pm. Go Pioneers!
