12 Days of Pioneer Football - the Third Day

On the third day of football my Pioneers gave to me: three players participating in post-season all-star games.  

Left tackle Morgan Kinsinger played the entire game for the South All-Stars in the D3 Senior Bowl in Salem Virginia last Friday night.  Kinsinger's South squad lost 10-7, but missed two field goal tries.  Morgan capped off a great career by being named Most Valuable Offensive Linemen for the third time, winning the Abe Rosenbloom Most Outstanding Offensive or Defensive Lineman, being named 2nd team All-Conference, and being invited to the D3 Senior Bowl as well as the Tazon de Estrellas.

Linebacker Colton Feller will also lace up the pads one more time at the Tazon de Estrellas.  Feller started 37 of 40 games in his career, and served as a captain his senior year.

Kevin Hwang was also named All-Conference after his senior year.  He has been moved from cornerback to outside linebacker to safety, where he was the most productive.  Hwang finished the year tied for first in the conference in interceptions and tied for sixth in tackles. 

The Tazon de Estrellas will kick off Saturday, December 21 at 1:00 pm central time, and can be viewed at: www.Terra.com.mx
