Simon Kenton, and I mean the real-life pioneer, and not the high school known as the Pioneers, was a pretty tough guy. He was made to travel a gauntlet of ritualistic Native American tortures as a captive of the Shawnee, or so the history books tell us. That gauntlet contained physical tests […]

There is no easy way to say it, Head Coach Chris Engstrand‘s John Hardin Bulldogs struggled finding much bite last season. I suppose there are worse things than going 5-6, and there are some teams with similar worksheets in 2017 for whom the outlook next season is quite rosy, but […]
