In 2013, the St. Paul Pioneers are out to prove that 2012
was no fluke. Their mission is to do one thing: win. They have done that a lot,
especially over the past three seasons. Toward that end, the Pioneers held
their annual minicamp at Augsburg College on Saturday, March 23

Indeed, his high expectations are not unwarranted. The Pioneers
return a group of talented receivers, including Marcus Foster, Delane Woods and
Joe Ubani. Joining them this season will be Davarus Branigan, an exceptional tight
end who played for the Quad City Raiders.
Michael Harley is another new Pioneers receiver who the team
is also trying out at defensive back
Like the rest of the Pioneers, Harley just wants to win. He
played for the Rochester Giants in the past
“I’ve been close a couple of times before but never won a
title in anything. This is a good opportunity,” he said.
Other than playing football, Harley spends his time
finishing school at Augsburg and running track to stay in shape.
Although the offense boasts some promising new weapons, Spriggs
acknowledges that the Pioneers’ domination starts with the defense. Brock Keaton is one new addition to the Pioneers defense
that impressed star corner/kick returner Lionel Lamarre. More help is always needed in the secondary, according to
Lamarre, and “more competition is always a key championship ingredient,” he
said.
