6A State Champions! Proud of the grit and determination from these kids. Proud to work with the best coaches in the state. O-Line got it done!

The moment was not too big for us. In the 2025 playoffs, whether up or down in the fourth quarter, players made plays to stay in the fight. Whether at Jack Groce Stadium or Kenan, it felt just like home. Pioneer football showed up every time, and so did our community.

Grateful for the opportunity to practice on Thanksgiving. Got to do this one time as a player in 2012, and now as a Coach. Let’s keep it rollin.

Grateful for the opportunity to practice this late in the year and to share fellowship with teammates afterward. Experiences our players will carry with them. Thank you to all our assistant coaches, families, and volunteers who continue to serve our players. #TBM #Thanksgiving🏈
