Football player Colter Johnson (Warren, PA) has been named the NJCAA Special Teams Player of the Week following the Pioneers 26-20 victory over Erie CC on Saturday.  Johnson is the second Pioneer player to be honored by NJCAA this season.

Johnson set a new ASC football game record by connecting on four field goals in the Pioneers Region III Championship victory.  Johnson hit 26-yard field goal in the 1st quarter and then connected on a 42, 31, and 32 yard field goal in the 3rd quarter.

The Pioneers led 39-28 at half and led by as many as 15 with just over six minutes left before the Red Barons went on a 25-8 run to close the game.  Nate Acosta scored what proved to be the game winner for CCC.  ASC had a chance as time expired to win the game but a last second shot didn't fall for the blue & gold.

Camille Romero (Queens Village/Mary Louis) and Amie Brooks (Pavilion) combined for 52 points as the Alfred State College women's basketball continued their fast start to the 2011-12 season with a 71-66 win over Corning CC.  The Lady Pioneers are now 6-0 on the year.

Romero was 10 for 25 on the day and led all scorers with 27.  She added five rebounds and five assists.  Brooks was 7 for 21 (5 for 10 from three) to finish with 25 points.  She added five steals and four rebounds.
