An Illinois high school football team that did not field a varsity program for two seasons has once again been forced to forfeit a game.

Alleman High School was scheduled to play Moline in a Western Big 6 Conference contest this Friday. The school announced on Thursday that due to having too few of healthy players available, they will not be able to play.

The Pioneers are down to 11 players after several suffered injuries in a 55-13 loss to Sterling last week. Alleman is currently 1-5 on the year, scoring a 62-13 win in Week 1 over Walther Christian Academy.

Since that victory, the Pioneers have struggled, losing five in a row. They have allowed at least 32 points in all five games, scoring just 49 total since the opening week win. 

The slide includes three straight games where they have surrendered at least 51 points.

Alleman has Two Games Left on 2025 Schedule

Alleman has two games remaining on the schedule, as they are set to head to Geneseo next Friday night before concluding the regular season at home vs. East Moline United on Friday, October 24. School officials have noted they hope to get several players back to play the final games of the schedule.

The last year Alleman played a varsity game came in 2022 when they went 1-8, losing eight straight after defeating Chicago Academy in Week 1. They allowed 376 points that season, scoring just 65.

Kyle Boden leads the Pioneers with 362 yards rushing and six touchdowns, as Kelly Honert has thrown for 274 yards with a pair of TD passes.
