Crockett quarterback Cade Larkins threw for nearly 400 yards and the Pioneers stopped Boone in the Red Zone as time expired to preserve a 34-27 victory. With the win, the Pioneers remained undefeated and locked up a conference championship. Both Boone and Crockett will host home playoff games next week.
While the Pioneers (9-0, 5-0) found success through the air, Boone (7-2, 4-1) countered with a strong ground game. Charlie Cole rushed for just over 170 yards while Boone quarterback Easton Harrell also rushed for over 100 yards.
