Pioneer Pride Fact

In what many considered to be a rebuilding year, the 2011 squad proved the pundants wrong. Junior quarterback Zach Files takes over for the departing Jacob Stone. He passed for 2218 and threw 12 touchdowns. Junior receiver Jerrell Fisher led the team in receptions with 51 catches for 791 yards and was a threat in all three phases of the game, playing offense, defense and special teams. Jonathan Epps finished his career as the featured back and rushed for 783 yards and 14 touchdowns. First year kicker Jonathan Ramos ties the school record with a 48 yard field goal. On defense the Pioneers fielded two freshman that impressed the masses week in and week out. Dominic Hill and Josh Hernadez anchored the defensive line, while juniors Tanner Steirwalt and Dominic Allen had impressive seasons at the linebacker spot. Senior Mitchell Shannon surprised everyone and emerged as the leader on defense with bone crushing tackles. The year was highlighted with Boswell's 4th consecutive win over Saginaw High, and 6th straight win under Coach John Abendschan over the Azle Hornets. A key win over Brewer in week two helped the Pioneers on their way to clinching a playoff berth in week nine against Keller Timber Creek. Boswell won their 2nd consecutive bi-district championship over the heavily favored South Hills Raiders with a 41-38 thriller at Brewer Bear Stadium. The season ended in the area round against Waco Midway.
