The Pioneers got three passing touchdowns from quarterback Warren Moore and Tyler Jakubiak scored three times, two of which came on kickoff returns to topple Bland Co. 56-25.

Moore was five of six passing for 184 yards to go with his three touchdown tosses. Jakubiak has 210 yards on special teams and rushed for 60 more on four carries. Colby Rider scored tow touchdowns as did Tanner Bailey. The Pioneers ( 7-3) had 451 yards to the Bears 306. Rider had 10 rushes for 84 yards.

Bland Co ( 4-6) quarterback Jake Watters threw three touchdowns. He finished with 128 yards on five of 13 passing and one interception. Brian Arnold has 16 carries for 92 yards in the losing effort.

Fort Chiswell head coach Todd Tiller said,” We made some adjustments at halftime and held them (Bland) to just six yards of offense in the third quarter.” He then added,” We took care of business tonight and I’m proud of kids. Jakubiak can take it to the house with his speed.”

Jakubiak returned two kickoffs for scores, one was 78 yards and the other was 90. He also scored a 47 yard jaunt.The Pioneers coming a dismal 0-10 record from last year have been one of the most improved team this season. Their win tonight in Bastian secures a number four seed for next weeks’ playoffs and a home game. Their opponent more than likely will be Twin Valley next Friday night.
