Breakout

The young Pioneers put their first major imprint on their 2011 season this afternoon with an impressive 35-8 blasting of the Bishop Fenwick Crusaders at the Lynnfield Middle School Field.

The Pioneers rolled up 350+ yards in the first three quarters enroute to the victory that ups their record to 2-1.

Quarterback Mike Karavetsos led the way both running and throwing including two long touchdown connections with Dan Ashwell. Tri-captain Mike Thomas, Kyle McGah and Alex Pascucci added rushing touchdowns, Karavetsos hit Tyler Palumbo for a two point conversion and Alex Roper drilled three PAT's to account for the scoring.

The Pioneer line dominated both sides of the ball and the Lynnfield defense continues to grow, forcing the beleaguered Crusaders into six turnovers.

OD's Run

And finally don't forget about OD's Run which will be held tomorrow, Sunday, September 25 at 10 am at Lynnfield High School.

The annual 5K memorial road race and walk is held to raise funds for scholarships awarded in memory of Johnny "OD" O'Donnell. Johnny is a former Pioneer football player and this event is a tribute to his short life.
