Pioneers are sandpapering that ass in the first half.

This is the first time I've seen them play. Fun team!

It’s actually cathartic to watch a team from Boone play such good football. I forgot what it looks like. Burroughs is insane.

Coached him in tee ball! Pretty sure Pollard inked him for baseball.

They said he is going to play baseball, but I didn't hear them say where

Duke. I’m sure Manny Diaz is paying attention. They already saw what Anderson Castle can do as a former Pioneer.

State Champs. My niece and her husband plus grand niece were at game. My niece wore her uncle's jersey (played on the 1978 state champion team) and her daughter wore his letter man's jacket. Great day to be a Pioneer!!

Congratulations Pioneers! Awesome to have a state championship returning to Watauga County after 47 years.

My mom, a 74 grad, summed up the game thusly: "pretty cool". :lol:
