Foggy in the Mist

The Pioneers brushed off some early cobwebs and a opening possession Georgetown score to post their fifth straight victory this afternoon.

The Pioneers got their wake up call at around 2:15 this afternoon after Georgetown took the opening kick and marched down the field to take a 7-0 lead. A Royal fumble recover on the Pioneers' opening possession gave Georgetown additional life, and if not for an offensive pass interference call, the shaky visitors would have fallen behind 14-0.

But as they say, if "ifs and buts were candy and nuts what a wonderful Christmas it would be." The Pioneers shook off the cobwebs to overcome the gutsy Royals and tallied 40 unanswered points to take the 40-7 win, go to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the CAL Small.

The win, coupled with Hamilton-Wenham's 14-6 victory over Manchester-Essex, means the Pioneers can capture the CAL Small title with a win over the Generals next Saturday. Easier said then done, but we'll talk more about that game and its consequences later in the week.

That's it for now. Check back tomorrow night for my leftovers post.
