The staff and players would like to thank Coach J Herbst for the 15 years of commitment and work you have given to Simon Kenton. We wish you the best of luck in your new venture as the head coach of The Dayton Greendevils.
Thx to Pioneer Nation for the tremendous support this year. We will continue to teach our players to be young men chasing excellence in all they say and do. Tonight showed we have come far but still have work to do. We are committed to helping our players and program grow.
The sun came up this morning as it does every morning. Want to say how grateful I am for the season and times we had together. Sometimes we look at what we didn’t get instead of looking at what we actually got. Grateful for it all this season.
Had a group of players do a community service project this morning. Elderly resident needed help with yard. These guys stepped up and got the job done and did a great job.

Congratulations to senior LB Clay Cogswell on being selected to play in the Kentucky Football Coaches Association “Best of the Bluegrass” state all-star game.
C. Crone is the 8th Pioneer to win the Kentucky Football Coaches Assoc district player of the year. He joins M Simpson 08 & 09, C Lawrence 2010, B Kuntz 2013, D Powell 2015, C Racke 2016, & J Courtney 2018.
Thank you seniors for all you have done to make this season a good one. You will be missed. You have taught our underclassmen how to be great teammates.
Underclassmen – Off-season assignment: ask to sit down (1 on 1) with the senior that you have the most respect for.
Ask them what their greatest regrets are over the past four years, ask them what they would do differently, and learn from their example!
Last night would have been our annual “midnight madness” scrimmage. A tradition that began in 2005. Even though we did not have it, our players and coaches are excited about our upcoming season. We will continue to prepare following all guidelines.

Former Pioneer offensive lineman Christian Olmstead making his professional football debut tonight in The Spring League on FS2 network. He has waited so long and worked so hard for his chance. Pretty cool that he is playing for Hal Mumme.
Congrats to C Cogswell and JJ Courtney on being named to the Northern KY Football Coaches Assoc Top 26 team and representing our program at the banquet tonight.
Our prayers go out to Kevin’s family. May they feel the love of God, family, friends, and community during this difficult time. Kevin was an OL in our program for three years. He was one hard-working, tough dude. He was a special young man! RIP Kevin!
Great effort by our team tonight. Defense came up big with key turnovers. Offense did a great job of converting 3rd downs. Solid special teams play.
