Euphoria!

It wasn't a league game and has no bearing on the standings, but the Pioneers huge 21-19  last second win today over the Triton Vikings means so much in so many ways to this developing Lynnfield team.

  • It shows the Pioneers can step up a couple of divisions and beat a quality team (5-0 coming in would qualify as a quality team).
  • It shows they can overcome adversity since there were many times during the game (long punt return for a score, turnovers inside the  red zone, late Triton score to fall behind) where the Pioneers could have packed it in, but they did not. 
  • It shows this team will be a factor in the CAL Small. From here on out, its all league all the time, and the Pioneers have their fate in their hands.
Suffice to day, it was a great high school football game and even greater win for the Pioneers.

Full details in my Villager game story on Wednesday plus more on the win right here on Monday.

    Finally got to your Blog! Great Job! Great win for Lynnfield. Probably the hardest hitting LHS games I've been too. THESE KIDS ARE NOT DONE!
