Pioneer Sports This Week: A Roundup (December 21-23 -- Christmas Week)

It was an exciting -- albeit short -- week for sports in Pioneer Country. It's time to start treating the boys basketball team like they are the favorites to win the section, which after their big win over ELCO, they almost certainly are, but they're not the only team finding early season success.
