The Pinnacle Pioneers are headed away from home for the first time to take on the Tolleson Wolverines at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Pinnacle is leaving town to face Tolleson after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Pinnacle fell 39-32 to La Cueva on Saturday.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Wyatt Horton, who rushed for 39 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 73 yards and a touchdown. Gavin Hammond was another key rusher, rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Tolleson's offense. They were beaten by Mountain Ridge 28-0 on Friday.
Even though they lost, Tolleson was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 240 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
Everything came up roses for Pinnacle against Tolleson in their previous matchup back in September of 2023 as the team secured a 49-19 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Pinnacle since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
