We’re not even going to talk about what happened in the first seven games of the 2022 football season for Somerville. All you have to know is the good news that Matt Bloom is back for his first full season as head coach.
Bloom took over with just two games left in a year that started going off the rails early. And all Bloom did was get the team to win its final two games of the season to make the playoffs. Both were must-win games, and they got Ws at home against Hillsborough and at South Brunswick on Cutoff Weekend.
This year, with some speedy skill players back, the Pioneers are looking to continue the momentum.
They’re already off to a good start, with a season-opening 41-7 win at Voorhees in their Week Zero game Friday night. In fact, it all started with a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to open the game by speedster Terrell Mitchell. Quarterback Brendan Pacheco went on to throw two touchdown passes, one to Quinn Carran who also had a 55-yard punt return for a TD.
