The Plainview football team improved its record to 5-2, with a 32-3 win over the Eagles of Lutheran High. The Eagles struck first with a field goal, but it was all Pirates from that point on. Pirates used big plays to jump out to a big lead. The first four scores were passing plays of 40 yards or more. Tyler Wattier hooked up with Derek White on 54 yard bomb, Nathan Wragge on a 60 yard strike, and Caden Aleaxnder on a 59 yard pass. Trey Boyer also connected with Caden Alexander for a 41 yard touchdown. ON the ground the Pirates were led by Andrew Holton with 61 yards.Teran Boyer added 30 yards, and Trey Boyer added 34 yards.
After giving up the first scoring drive, the Pirate defense played solid the rest of the night. LHNE never threatened the end zone again and turned the ball over 4 times. Two of those turnovers were interceptions by Teran Boyer.
I was pleased with the way our kids made some adjustments on the field. After that first drive we started taking away most of their bread and butter plays. I thought our DB's played very well and our DL was able to pressure their QB all not long.
The Pirates travel to Atkinson on Thursday night to take on the Huskies at 7:00.
