NORTHAMPTON — The only thing that kept Pioneer Valley Regional School running back Bryce Dobosz from rushing for 200 yards for the third straight week was the Smith Vocational & Agricultural High School defense. Or rather, the lack thereof.
The junior running back rushed for 188 yards and and two touchdowns but was lifted after three quarters due to the lopsided score as the Panthers dumped the Vikings, 48-0, in a Tri-County League football game Friday night.
Pioneer has a look at qualifying for the WMass Division IV-A postseason but is playing a must-win game Friday night in Buckland against a Mohawk Trail Regional High School team that may also be playing for its postseason lives. That game will begin at 7.
Dobosz rushed for 213 yards two weeks ago against Palmer High School, and went for 201 yards in last week’s win over Pathfinder Regional Technical High School, giving him 685 yards in just four games this season, after he missed the first game of the year. He was well on his way to the 200-yard mark again on Friday, as he rushed 19 times for 141 yards in the first half, and then carried the ball for 47 yards on five hauls after halftime. He took Pioneer’s first handoff of the fourth quarter for seven yards to end his night. Another thing that hurt his chances at 200 yards was the fact that the other Pioneer playmakers were also getting in on the scoring party with a number of long touchdowns, but none of that mattered to the back, who said it was all about getting the victory that he cared about.
“It’s all about the team and I’m glad we got the win,” he said. “Our offense is playing well right now. We’ve got a great group of offensive linemen, a great group of backs and receivers, and our quarterback Alex Tyson is playing great.”

While Dobosz gets much of the attention as he moved just 127 yards away from his first 1,000-yard rushing season, the rest of the Pioneer playmakers showed that if a team keys on Dobosz, they can make them pay. Pioneer recovered an onside kick to open the game and the first four plays went to Dobosz, who moved the ball to the Smith Voke 29. When the Vikings sold out on the next play to stop Dobosz, Pioneer surprised them by handing the ball to Terrell Hicks, who scampered 29 yards to paydirt. That set the tone for the game, as Tyson scored on a 7-yard run on the next possession (which immediately followed a 36-yard run by Dobosz to set that up), and Dobosz scored the third touchdown of the game from 1 yard out. Pioneer ended the first-half scoring when Tyson found Jake Wallace for a 13-yard touchdown reception that had the Panthers up 27-0 at the break.
In the second half, Tyson hit Wallace on a 28-yard touchdown pass just 1 minute in, Dobosz scored from 6 yards out, and Tristan Dresser scored on a 38-yard run in the third quarter to put Pioneer up 48-0.

The Panthers’ defense also pitched its second consecutive shutout in dominating fashion. Smith Voke finished with just eight positive yards in the first half, and that number actually shrunk to only one positive yard after two Smith Voke possessions in the second half. The Vikings were able to move the ball a bit late in the third quarter and early in the fourth, but finished the night with only 40 positive yards.
“I think the defense has really spoken for itself all year, even when we played Ware and Palmer,” Pioneer coach Paul Worth said. “We gave up two big plays in each of those games (both losses), but we held two really high-powered offenses to just 14 points in both games. I feel that we should be able to score more than 14 points as an offense, and if you can’t then you don’t deserve to win.”
Hicks finished with 11 carries for 87 yards in the win, while Dresser carried the ball twice for 54 yards. Tyson added 12 yards on three carries and also finished 3-for-9 passing for 62 yards and two touchdowns.
Cam VanBuren led Smith Voke with 20 yards on six carries, while Dakota Blakesley had 15 yards on eight carries. Quarterback Jake Erali rushed 10 times for 5 yards, and was 1-for-9 passing for no yards and one interception.

Pioneer selling former central office modules

• 
  

NORTHFIELD — Having changed the location of its central office in January, the Pioneer Valley Regional School District is selling its former office space behind Pioneer Valley Regional School.
The three single-story modular buildings have been vacant since the office was moved to 168 Main St. The move was prompted by employee concerns about foundation cracks, rust, roof leaks, mold in the basement and outdated electrical, communication and alarm systems, as well as a feasibility study that determined repairs alone would cost $145,186.(But its OK for taxpayers to foot a bill of 34,000.00 plus for her rental  yearly??? How does this make sense? Lets also not forget her big raise I am still trying to make sense of ) OK READ THE UNDERLINE ABOVE AND LOOK BELOW TO WHAT SHE SAYS IN HER NEXT BREATH.
Last school year, the school committee decided the 20-year-old buildings were not worth repairing and a sale posting was recently added to www.pvrsdk12.org, the school district’s website. Superintendent Ruth Miller said she would like to see the buildings repurposed.
“You don’t want to just trash them,” Miller said. “It’d be nice to have them be used in a productive way.”(STARTING WITH THE MOVE BACK INTO IT )
The listing does not have an asking price, but states that no reasonable offer will be refused. Miller doesn’t expect to make money on the buildings, but hopes the sale will cover the cost of pushing gravel into and paving over the basement foundation once the modulars are removed.

“If we can break even, we’d be happy,” Miller said.
Miller said the buildings could be used for almost anything, and buyers could purchase just one modular or all three.
She claimed the buildings would need “no major repairs,” as the one leaking roof has been patched to make the building useable, though it could still use cosmetic repairs. The mold, which was stressed as a big factor in the decision to move, also wouldn’t be an issue, Miller said, since all the mold is located in the basement.( If this is the case than why are we not just cleaning it up? In the end it will cost taxpayers less than her Queen ships rental luxury were footing the bill  for ) ALSO NOTICE HOW NOW NONE OF WHAT WAS MENTIONED ABOVE IS A ISSUE A FEW SENTENCES LATER .
Miller said the modulars have attracted some interest already, though Pioneer’s central office has yet to receive a definite offer.

A Great Day for the Panthers

Booster Day rout by Panthers

NORTHFIELD — Pioneer Valley Regional School made no secret what it was going to do.
The Panthers kept giving the ball to Bryce Dobosz and dared Pathfinder Regional Vocational Technical High School to stop him.
Dobosz shredded the Pathfinder defense with 201 yards rushing and scored five touchdowns Saturday afternoon to power Pioneer to a 36-0 Tri-County League football victory.
The win ended a two-game losing streak for the Panthers (3-2) and got them thinking about making the postseason.
“We’ll concentrate on Smith Voke next week and take it from there,” first-year coach Paul Worth said. “We are still a work in progress, but we like to think we’re on the right track.”

The game got the Panthers feeling good about themselves. The losses to Ware and Palmer were close and could have gone either way, and both came against likely playoff-bound teams.
Somewhat overshadowed by Dobosz was Pioneer’s defense, which may have played its best game this season. Pathfinder was held to 57 yards of total offense.
Like Pioneer, Pathfinder made a habit of feeding its top running back. But Andrew Roman had trouble running through holes that were quickly plugged by the Panther defense and could manage only 40 yards rushing on 15 carries.
Ball-control was the key to the game. Pioneer had the ball for the majority of the opening quarter The Panthers set the tone for the game with a lengthy, 11-play, 60-yard drive, capped by a 3-yard run by Dobosz.
“I like the workload,” Dobosz said. “I just try to hit the hole hard and the line did such a great job. I always had two blockers ahead of me.”
Dobosz keyed the drive. He ran the ball during 10 of the Panthers’ 11 plays before he bulled over from the 3-yard line to help Pioneer take the early lead, 7-0m, with 2:29 left in the first quarter.
Pioneer’s defense did bend at one point when Pathfinder mounted an 11-play drive. But an incomplete pass stalled the drive at the Panther 38 and the Pioneers did little offensively after that.
Pioneer built a 21-0 halftime lead. Again, the Panthers did so by keeping the ball on the ground and feeding Dobosz.
Dobosz scored on a 15-yard run at 9:25 of the second quarter. Following a poor punt, the drive only covered 35 yards in five plays.
Pioneer finished the first half with a 8-play, 59-yard drive. Dobosz finished that march with a 7-yard run with 43 seconds remaining.
It was Dobosz again in the third quarter. His 1-yard run at 7:10 provided Pioneer with a 28-0 advantage.
“He’s a very good player,” Pioneer quarterback Alex Tyson said. “He means a lot to our team.”
Dobosz wasn’t finished. His 6-yard run followed by Tyson’s conversion run raised the lead to 36-0.
“He’s a great athlete,” Worth said. “If our line didn’t do such a great job of blocking, Bryce wouldn’t have had the game he had.”

Schools: Pioneer field hockey rolls past Turners, 4-1

Jessica Scoville scored four times in the first half and Pioneer Valley Regional School picked up a 4-1 West Division field hockey win over Turners Falls High School Saturday during Booster Day at Pioneer in Northfield.
Scoville scored twice in the first three minutes of play for the Panthers (6-6-1, 5-1-1 West), who moved into a tie for second place in the West along with Turners Falls (5-7-1, 5-2-1). Alyssa Genovese and Elizabeth Sweeney each assisted on the early goals.
Scoville registered her hat trick 12 minutes into the game on an assist from Ashley Walker, and she added her fourth of the day with 7 minutes, 45 seconds left on Sweeney’s second helper of the day.
Turners Falls turned it on in the second half and held Pioneer off the scoreboard, while getting on the board itself. Jade Tyler broke up Pioneer goalie Steph Scoville’s shutout bid with 5:45 remaining in the game when she scored on an assist from Hattie Harvey.
Scoville finished with eight saves to record the win. Maddie Currier made 10 saves in the first half for Turners Falls, and Haleigh Green stopped two in the second half.

Girls’ soccer Mohawk 2, Pioneer 0 — Sarah Gokey scored a goal and set up another and Mohawk Trail Regional High School defeated Pioneer in a Franklin County League girls’ soccer game Saturday in Northfield.
The Warriors (4-9-0) scored 14 minutes into the game when Gokey set up Jaxon Palmer with the only goal of the first half. Mohawk struck again 12 minutes into the second half on Gokey’s unassisted tally.
“I was disappointed that we let Gokey get the second goal of the game,” Pioneer coach Nikki Pullen said. “We made some formation changes, and we played really well the rest of the game. It was very skillful play from both teams. Even though we lost to them in the beginning of the season, I think we went in to the first half severely underestimating Gokey.”
Pioneer (2-8-1) had numerous chances to score itself on the day, but was unable to get anything past Mohawk goalie Lilly Seaver, who stopped two shots for the shutout.
“We really need someone to step up and start scoring,” Pullen said. “We had at least two opportunities that should have been goals.”
Leah Fuess made six saves in the loss.


.Boys’ soccer Pioneer 3, McCann Tech 0 — Dana McRae and Noah Keith each had one goal and one assist and Pioneer earned a 3-0 win over McCann Technical High School in an independent boys’ soccer game Saturday in Northfield.
The Panthers (5-6-2) scored twice in the first half. Jack Loud got things started in the 22nd minute on an assist by Keith, who then scored himself in the 35th minute on an assist by McRae. Pioneer finished off the scoring in the 58th minute when McRae scored on a penalty kick.
Ryan Underwood (four saves) and Joel Emberley (two saves) combined on the shutout in the Pioneer net. Devon Griswold stopped six shots in the loss.


.Girls’ volleyball Pioneer 3, FC Tech 1 — Caroline Merkle served 15 aces Saturday and Pioneer defeated Franklin County Technical School, 25-8, 19-25, 25-17, 25-12, in an independent girls’ volleyball match Saturday in Northfield.
Merkle also finished with 12 assists for the Panthers (4-10), and Lizzie Fuller collected 5 kills, 3 digs and 3 aces.
Summer Gaudreau had 3 kills, 3 aces and 2 digs for the Eagles (1-14), Ryleigh Barton had 3 aces and 2 digs, and Isabelle Duga had 1 ace, 1 kill, 2 assists and 4 digs.
