PARTNERS BEHIND THE PURPLE & GOLD

This week's featured sponsor: BB ROOFING

Serving Nebraska, Iowa, and the Kansas City area, BB Roofing provides top-quality roofing, siding, gutters, and windows. From minor repairs to complete replacements, their team is committed to quality workmanship, reliable service, and taking care of their customers.

But what makes BB Roofing stand out goes well beyond their work! They're active in the communities they serve, supporting local events, volunteering, participating in Chamber activities, and giving back to charitable organizations.

And their generosity has made a direct impact on Pioneer athletics! In addition to BB Roofing's Elite Sponsorship, owner Blaine Brown generously contributed additional funds toward the purchase of new football blocking and tackling sleds this past Spring! It's this kind of support that helps provide our student-athletes with the equipment and opportunities they need to succeed.

BB Roofing believes that supporting the community isn't just something you talk about — it's something you show through your actions. And they've certainly demonstrated that commitment here in Nebraska City and is a business that truly believes in giving back!

Thank you, Blaine and the entire BB Roofing team, for your generosity and continued support of Pioneer athletics! We're grateful to have you as a Partner Behind the Purple & Gold!

PIONEER SENIOR SPOTLIGHT - BOSTON HARKER

This week's Senior Spotlight features Boston Harker, son of Aimee and Shawn Harker!

Boston has spent 4 years on the Pioneer football field, proudly wearing #2 and earning First Team All-Conference and Second Team All-State honors! He's also participated in Unified Bowling for 2 years and is involved in National Honor Society and Student Council!

For Boston, some of his favorite Pioneer memories go all the way back to freshman year football. But what has made his athletic career most meaningful is the family the team created.

Boston believes that setbacks are part of becoming a better athlete. Inspired by Michael Jordan's message about learning through failure, he says the best advice he's received from a coach is "You need to fail over and over again to learn and get better."

His own advice to younger Pioneer athletes? "Student comes before athlete." A great reminder that success starts in the classroom!

A little fun about Boston! He can walk on his hands for an impressively long time, he'd choose super strength if he could have any superpower, and the one thing he can't live without? Football, of course! 🏈

Boston credits his parents as his biggest supporters throughout his athletic career. And his message to his family, coaches, teammates, and everyone who has supported him along the way says a lot:

"Thank you for turning me into the person I am."

Help us celebrate Boston, his accomplishments, and the pride he's brought to Pioneer athletics. We wish him nothing but the best in his next chapter!

Once a Pioneer, always a Pioneer! 💜💛

PIONEER SENIOR SPOTLIGHT - AIVREE WARD

Our next Senior Spotlight features Aivree Ward, daughter of Kim and Chris Christiansen!

Aivree has spent 4 years cheering on the Pioneers, earning four varsity letters and being named Cheerleader of the Year as a Junior! She's also played 3 years of softball, earning two varsity letters, and is a member of the National Honor Society!

For Aivree, some of her favorite Pioneer memories come from Friday nights under the lights! From getting ready with friends and taking pregame pictures to cheering at home football games, it's the friendships and being part of a team that have made her high school years so special!

And if you're wondering who's been her biggest supporter throughout her athletic career, Aivree gives that special recognition to her mom!

Help us congratulate Aivree on her accomplishments and wish her the very best as she finishes her senior year and prepares for her next chapter!

Once a Pioneer, always a Pioneer! 💜💛

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT - BLAKE BANDO

Our next Senior Spotlight features Blake Bando, son of Sarah Bando and Brian Bando, a 4 year football player and left tackle for the Pioneers!

For Blake, football has been about more than just the game. It's the friendships and the time spent with teammates at practice that has made his Pioneer years memorable.

A little fun about Blake! He's a big Kanye West fan! His favorite pregame hype song, favorite quote and the one thing he can't live without are all Kanye!

He's also pretty confident in his Mario Kart skills, and if he could have any superpower, he'd choose laser vision! ⚡

When it comes to football advice, Blake keeps it short and sweet. His advice to younger Pioneer athletes is "Never give up," while the best advice he's received from a coach is "Stay low." 🏈

Blake credits his family as his biggest supporters throughout his athletic career. His message to his family, coaches, teammates, and everyone who has cheered him on along the way?

"Thanks, love you guys."

After graduation, Blake plans to attend Peru State College!

Help us celebrate Blake and wish him the very best as he finishes his senior year and prepares for his next chapter!

Once a Pioneer, always a Pioneer! 💜💛
