Brief by Ben Shapiro, News Editor

Within the first two minutes of the Homecoming football game, both Conestoga and Marple Newtown jumped right in, scoring a touchdown each. By the end of the first quarter, the Pioneers took the lead 14-7 and brought it up to 21-14 by halftime.

After a performance from Conestoga’s Marching Pioneer Band, the boys scored one more touchdown, bringing the final score to 28-27: a nailbiting finish. Senior Peter Costigan was the MVP of the night, scoring three of the team’s four touchdowns.
