Pioneer Going For Tournament Win
Pioneer High School football coach Ramon Juarez checked in this afternoon with some info about the Titans, who are currently involved in the Los Angeles Watts Summer Games (football passing league tournament).
Pioneer, which is ranked No. 2 in the tournament and sports a 3-1 record, is set to go in Saturday's quarterfinals at 11 a.m. at the Carson Center against Inglewood Morningside.
A victory would send the Titans into the 1 p.m. semifinal against either Compton or Los Angeles Banning.
The consolation championships are set for 2 p.m. while the championship game is scheduled for 3.
For Juarez and company, they're hoping to reach the championship game for a second-straight year. Pioneer was defeated by Los Angeles Jordan in last year's finale.
"I like to play against city-section teams because they bring a speed that we don't really see in our area," Juarez said. "These kids bring great speed, athleticism and skills and that can only help prepare us for the season."
This will be a great opportunity to check out senior quarterback Ronnie Palacios. Is Palacios the area's top returning QB? While it's still too early to tell, he's on a very short list.
