It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Pioneer had no problem doing just that on Friday. They took down the Lopez Lobos 35-21. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Diamondbacks considering their 11-point performance the contest before.
William Goodloe continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 107 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 106 yards and two touchdowns.
Pioneer was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 256 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lopez only rushed for 162.
Despite the loss, Lopez still got an impressive performance from Eddie Slovak, who rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns. Slovak is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 110 every time he's taken the field this season.
The victory (which was Pioneer's fourth in a row) raised their record to 8-3. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 28.5 points per game. As for Lopez, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-4.
Pioneer will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Miller at 7:00 p.m. Miller knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past six matchups -- so hopefully Pioneer likes a good challenge. Lopez does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
