Late in the first half with the Pioneers trailing 10-7, Ingram stepped in front of an Evan Lewandowski pass and returned it 46 yards for a touchdown. Ingram was credited with eight tackles, one tackle for a loss, and two quarterback hurries in the contest. 

--Named WIAC Kwik Trip Defensive Player of the Week
Addison Morris--Freshman--Calonan, Ill./Geneseo HS
 
Morris ran a very controlled and evenly paced race at the UW-Whitewater Warhawk Open on Oct. 21, to finish first in only her sixth running competition of any kind, ever. A former softball player, Addison only started distance running within the past 10 months. Her winning time of 25:48.9 was a PR by 16 seconds on a relatively tough course on a relatively tough day with temperatures in the mid 70's. She bested her teammate, Avery Brown, by 30 seconds to lead the Pioneers to the team title.
