Things looked good for SK as they got on the board first on a quick hit to Swanson on an 8 yard touchdown pass from Brenan Kuntz. Dixie would get even at 7 still in the first quarter. SK would get the go ahead touchdown after Nate Powell scored on a two yard running play. Dixie would get even before the Dance Team took the field at intermission to knot the score at 14 with just about 30 seconds to go in the half. Dixie would score three more touchdowns in the second half while the Pioneers were unable to get anything going on offense. The final score, Dixie 35 and SK 14 and the Pioneers finish with a district record of 0-4.
Although the football team went down, it was still a very special night on campus. The night started with memorial for Jennifer Fossett, the SK grad and teacher who recently passed. The family, friends, students and fellow educators gathered in the south end zone for a moment of reflection. Jennifer’s favorite scriptures were read over the public address system and a moment of silence was observed giving time for those in attendance to pray for her family. The Student Council sold memorial candles before the game where the money raised will be used for a scholarship in Jennifer’s name. At half-time, there was a balloon release that raised money for breast cancer research.
