At Horizon high school, the Dawg Pound came out in full force. And they witnessed history with Horizon beating Pinnacle for the first time in program history.

And the Pioneers faithful showed out on the road as well, at times being louder than the Dawg Pound.
Yes, but also @GoBigBlue_PHS fans on the road are bringing the juice 🧃 #FridayNight360AZ #BleacherTalk @Sports360AZ pic.twitter.com/MHtA1dSgBl
