The Pioneers took on the Berryville Bobcats and the Shiloh Saints in a double dual on January 26, 2016.  Against Shiloh, sophomores JT Crosby and Matthew Nance got pins against their opponents, as well as freshman Garrett Hays. Crosby and Nance also got pins against the Bobcats.  

Out of the 14 different weight classes, 9 of them did not have boys in the Shiloh match, whether it was the Saints lacking or the Pioneers.  Against Berryville only 8 of the 14 classes were open.

Nance had this to say about the season overall, “Our team may be small in numbers but what we lack in numbers we make up with in heart.  A love for the sport comes with dedication, commitment, and team support.  I’m proud of my team and the effort they showed on the mat.  We are very fortunate to have Coach Henderson who takes time away from his family to better Pioneer wrestling.  I couldn’t, nor would I, ask for a better team than the one I have.  I’d do anything for them.  They are not just a team.  They are my brothers.”

The Pioneers will be returning to the mats on Thursday, January 28, once again going up against the Berryville Bobcats.
