Boys Have Disappointing Season The Pioneers had a very disappointing season, end- ing up with a 6-24 record. But the Pioneers' record did not reflect the spirit and determination that the team played with throughout the entire season, with scores of tooth and nail battles which mostly ended with the Pioneers on the low side of the scoreboard.

Chris Shaw will also re- turn with the others in hopes of to achieving a winning record.
