Pioneer-Cass tech
I made it to the Big Game at rynearson, thought you guys would be interested as to see how a couple of UM recruits played. hollowell was very rarely targeted, and when he was, broke up a couple of passes. Meanwhile, royce Jenkins stone was good at LB but disappeared at times; he also played some RB in short yardage situations. Terry Richardson was injured after hauling in a deep pass, but apparently returned some time after and picked off a pass to seal the victory. Kishon wilcher, the coaches son, played well on D but suffered from the dropsies on offense. And then for pioneer, drake Johnson made a great impression on basically everybody at the game. 5 total TD's, 3 on offense, on on special teams, and one pick-6. The game was a high scoring affair and I felt it was a great start to 2010 for HS football.

Thank you for this insider info. Please keep up the good work! Maybe we will see more plays like this from Delonte.

Wow, that catch was sick and ridiculous. Can't wait to see him wearing Maize and Blue!

He looks pretty freaking fast too. Nice ball skills, can't wait to see him either.

...A2.com story (there's no mention of Hollowell, FWIW). Cass Tech d. Pioneer 44-42, BTW.
P.S. varsityblue After a crazy final minute with 2 turnovers, Cass Tech defeats Pioneer 44-42. Hollowell finished with about 5-6 tackles and a couple PBU.
P.P.S., this is not OT.

That Drake Johnson kid had 6 TD's actually, and he plays for Pionner not Chelsea. He ran or 2, passed for 1, caught another, a punt return, and a pick 6. Not a bad days work if i say so myself.

in hurdles? Just wondering.

14.17 110H
8.05 60H Both times set as a sophomore.
He was by far the best player on the field yesterday. If he keeps playing at a similar level all season I see no reason why he wouldnt be an ESPNU top 150 player next year. Completely dominant, I would bet that no player in the history of Michigan HS football has scored a Rushing td, passing td, receiving td, return td, and def. td in the same game. Ridiculous...

whoops my bad, misread it. Nothing to see.

I didn't make it to the game at EMU last night, but having gone to two or three of Pioneer's games last year I'm not at all surprised to see that Johnson went off. On a team with Ricardo Miller last season I thought that Drake was Pioneer's most impressive player, and this was as a sophomore - albeit he had more opportunities to show off his skills given Ricardo's dependency on a mediocre quarterback. I would venture to guess that he will end up being a high D-1 recruit, although I wasn't aware of his track prowess - not sure if that will effect his decision making process when it comes to football. I will get out and see Pioneer play in Dexter on Thursday to see how he follows up this performance.

Pioneer is good, and Dexter is meh. My guess is that he'll look great against Dexter. At least, he should look great against a team like Dexter. The Saline game in week 3 might be more interesting.

what position does Johnson play?
August 29th, 2010 at 12:42 PM ^
Primarily a RB, but will also line up in the slot, out of the wildcat, and is playing some OLB this year.
August 29th, 2010 at 7:57 PM ^
Any idea on where he would end up at the next level?
August 29th, 2010 at 10:06 PM ^
I have no idea, I get the feeling that his real focus is on track. I don't know if he started to get some major attention for football if he would switch focus, or do both in college. I would hope so.
