ELYRIA, OHIO – The Elyria Pioneers sideline was quiet Thursday as Micah Hills crossed the goal line for a third time, giving the Shaker Heights Red Raiders a commanding 20-0 lead with 1:26 left in the second quarter of their matchup at Ely Stadium.
The Pioneers, already sitting at 0-5, had seen this script play out before, but on this night they wrote a comeback story they wouldn’t soon forget.
All Elyria did was put up 31 straight points over the next two plus quarters, including 14 in that final 1:26 of the first half, rallying to stun Shaker and take home a 31-28 win for their first victory for head coach Sean Arno.
There was plenty to celebrate on Thursday for the Pioneers and their fans, and below you can see all of the big plays via video on Twitter provided by our own Matt Loede from the huge win for the Pioneers.
