Pioneers Advance in Dramatic Fashion! The Gentry Pioneers triumphed in a thrilling first-round game, edging out the DeWitt Dragons 42-41. After the Dragons mounted a fierce comeback to take the lead in the fourth quarter, the Pioneers showed incredible poise, driving the length of the field in just 1:19 and converting a crucial two-point conversion with 46 seconds left. The defense stepped up when it mattered most, intercepting DeWitt’s last drive to secure the victory. Excellent effort making the five-hour trip to secure our first playoff win since 1998!Congratulations to DeWitt on a fantastic season, and many thanks to the DeWitt community for their warm hospitality and support! #GoPioneers #PlayoffVictory
