Payback!

Finally.

The Pioneers were not going to be caught from behind today for the third year in a row - unless Hamilton Wenham had an 11 point play in their pocket.

Not that the two-time defending champs made it easy. Even down by three scores they never quit, put up a quick score, nearly recovered an onside kick (actually did recover it but was penalized on the play to nullify it) and then recovered a fumble late. But the Pioneers were the better team today, dominating the line of scrimmage and playing smothering defense again.

You can read my game article on the 25-14 win along with my photos in this week's Villager.

But the Pioneers are now 2-0, tied for first with North Reading who smashed Manchester Essex 60-6 last night. They remain the only two undefeated teams in the league. Anyone have plans for Thanksgiving Day?

Just asking.

But beware, Georgetown and Manchester Essex would love to ruin the holiday. There is time enough to worry about that later.

Today is about the Pioneers taking care of business.

Check back tomorrow night when I'll have my Leftovers post.
