Pioneers eye unfinished business with another state tournament trip

Pierz football traveled to Brainerd High School Nov. 5 to take on Pequot Lakes in the Section 7AAA Championship game. The undefeated Pioneers looked to keep their streak alive while earning their second straight trip to the Minnesota State Football Tournament. Pierz defeated Pequot Lakes 54-15. Pierz earned another trip to the state tournament behind another strong offensive performance and a dominant defensive effort. An offense that has put up plenty of points throughout the season continued to do the same against a good Patriots defense. The Pioneers’ defense helped create opportunities for the offense, recording five interceptions and recovering one fumble. The Pequot Lakes defense forced a three-and-out right away, making Pierz punt. The Pioneers’ defense responded by forcing the Patriots to punt as well. In the first quarter, Brayden Foust intercepted a Pequot Lakes pass and returned it to the Patriots’ 20-yard line. Foust then turned the turnover into his first rushing touchdown of the game, giving the Pioneers a 7-0 lead. Foust added to the lead with a 93-yard touchdown run after a big fourth-down stop by the Pioneers’ defense at their own 7-yard line. The touchdown gave Pierz a 14-0 lead with 11 minutes left in
