1-0 Western Brown travels to Independence after beating Hillsboro 49 to 13. The 1-0 Pioneers handled Dixie and cruised to a win with a well balanced offense and a defense forcing 2 turnovers. The Pioneers might be a legit team this year with a good defense. Good luck to both teams. Post predictions and updates here.

The Pioneers won last year 43 to 24.

SK starts 2-0.

I'll go with SK by 21.

This is a contest SK should win and I think they will. This past week and this week are two really good games to start the season. However, moving forward into their schedule they will need to address the O-line issues to be a legit threat. A lot has been made about their defense and that side of the ball no doubt has gotten a lot better. The QB spot has also gotten better, and more accurate. Obviously their backfield has RB’s that have home run speed, or get an extra yard. However, the front 5 has struggled at times to block effectively for them. When you remove the blue color lens the film tells you outside of just 4 runs in two scrimmages and one game, they are average on the ground. Talking to a Milford coach prior to their first scrimmage he said they were down and smaller. The Pioneers only managed two runs by Mo Smith of 50, and 16. Take those two runs away and the numbers are 3.5 yards per carry for the RB’s, and the QB was the leading rusher and was sacked/forced to scramble. Then they played a superior McNick team in a shortened scrimmage. 5 run plays of -3, -3, 4, 1, -3. Then against Dixie, who limped into that game, on 13 carries (according to HUDL focus) only managed 3 carries of 10 or more yds while allowing 3 carries for negative yards and allowing 2 sacks, and 8 pressures. They will win Friday but the next two weeks after figure to be a hard intro to September if they don’t figure out their front issues.

You forgot all the 4th down conversion runs for a first down the Pioneers had. 5 or 6 of them.

And your QB was about even in his running yards with your leading rusher outside of just two runs due to a mix of designed runs, and scrambles. For the SK offensive line, that's not getting it done. Not saying they aren't a good team, but that's got to get fixed moving forward if they have ideas of winning their district, or making a run in the playoffs.
