Outlook: Pioneer coach John Abendschan has twelve starters returning, including capable talent at skill positions. Dante Lipscomb is back at RB after compiling more than 800 yards with thirteen scores last season. Top WRs Cameron Mavroulis and Michael Shuford return and hope that newcomer Quinton Gregory can step in and get the job done at QB. The defense will be led by LB Emeka Ekwulugo and Safeties Kirk Harberts and Matt Palmer. Improving on last year's 4-6 record seems likely.
