The Pirate football team finished the regular season strong on Thursday night with a 36-0 win. Defense was the big story. The Pirate defense did not allow a first down until the last drive of the fourth quarter. The Huskies ended up with 66 total yards of offense, while running only 31 plays.
On offense the Pirates got their ground game rolling. They ended up with 304 yards rushing. Andrew Holton led the team with 154 yards and 2 TD's. Teran Boyer added 77 yards on 10 carries and one touchdown. Tyler Wattier was perfect through the air, connecting on all 4 passes for 85 yards and a TD. That touchdown was a 65 yard completion to Nathan Wragge.
I was very pleased with the way we came out and played. We did not let the weather or field conditions bother us. We were able to dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, and our backs did a nice job of executing. With this win we were able to achieve one of our goals, which was a district title. We hope to use this as momentum into the post season.
The Pirates will host 5-3 Chase County at 7:00 on Thursday night in the first round of the playoffs.
