Rock Island, Illinois – Alleman High School’s football team has been compelled to forfeit an upcoming game against Moline, which was scheduled for this Friday in the Western Big 6 Conference, due to a critical shortage of healthy players. The announcement, made on Thursday, revealed that the Pioneers currently have seulement 11 players available as injuries continue to plague the squad.
The Pioneers’ struggles this season have been evident, culminating in a recent loss to Sterling with a final score of 55-13. This defeat marked their fifth consecutive loss, bringing their overall season record to 1-5. The team’s only victory came in Week 1, when they decisively defeated Walther Christian Academy 62-13. Unfortunately, their performance since then has declined significantly, allowing at least 32 points in every game during their current losing streak.
Throughout the past five games, Alleman has scored a total of just 49 points while giving up an alarming number of points, including three games where they allowed over 51 points. The Pioneers have two more games remaining in their season. Their next match is set against Geneseo the following Friday, with their final game scheduled to take place at home against East Moline United on October 24.
Despite the current difficulties, school officials hold an optimistic outlook regarding the potential recovery of several injured players in time for the season’s last games. This season stands in stark contrast to the last varsity campaign in 2022 when Alleman finished with a 1-8 record. That season saw the team undergo a similar spiral, enduring eight consecutive losses after winning their opener against Chicago Academy. During that time, they allowed 376 points while only managing to score 65 points across the entire season.
Among the team’s standout players, Kyle Boden leads the team in rushing with 362 yards and six touchdowns, while Kelly Honert is the primary passer with 274 yards and two touchdown passes. With a focus on rebuilding the program, Alleman is hopeful that they can turn the tide in the remaining games of the season.
