Overcoming Triple Trouble

A win is a win is a win.

The Pioneers overpowered the Saugus Sachems this morning to go 2-0 in the non league portion of the schedule. That's the perfect place to be heading into CAL Small league play next week. No one should complain about a two touchdown victory, but the Pioneers' play, especially on defense, was something less than perfect against the Saugus Triple Option attack.

The Sachems rolled for over 300 rushing yards but coughed up five turnovers which proved fatal as they fell to the Pioneers 35-21. You can get all the details in my game story in the Villager on Wednesday, but as head coach Neal Weidman noted after the game, there is lot to work on.

Great day for Kyle McGah who ran for 120 yards and three TD's.

That's it for now. Check back Sunday night for more on the win.
