Pierce took care of business in their home opener on Friday. They snuck past the Aurora Huskies with a 27-21 win. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Bluejays also won the last time the pair played back in August of 2024.
Kaiden Fritz went supernova, rushing for 235 yards and two scores while picking up 8.4 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 58 yards. Another player making a difference was Ryder Theisen, who rushed for 61 yards and one TD.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Pierce was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 435 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Aurora only rushed for 149 rushing yards.
Aurora's defeat came despite a true team effort from the offense with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Wyatt Pollet, who threw for 180 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 passes, and also rushed for 81 yards. A healthy portion of Pollet's aerial production (131 yards to be exact) went to Canon Allen, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Looking ahead, Pierce will venture away from home to square off against Logan View/Scribner-Snyder at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Aurora has already played their next match (against McCook), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
