Last night, October 26, 2023, the Junior Varsity Pirates went to battle vs the Jourdanton Indians. Jourdanton's air attack came to life early putting them up 14-0 early with two big plays, however our defense settled in and held them scoreless the remainder of the first half. It has been a rough two weeks offensively, but our ground game finally came to life with the play of Jayden Motes, Princeton Menchaca, and a huge game from Dezel Cashion. Running around and over defenders he was able to put our offense in great positions to score all night long. After an unsuccessful trip near the goal-line the pirates were down 14-0 at the half. One last big play through the air added to the Indians’ lead, but the Pirates fight would not waiver. We continued to lean on the running game against a stout defense and a late interception by Kash Friesenhahn kept the hope alive. Unfortunately, in the end, the comeback was not meant to be, and the Pirates would fall here at home.
This is a resilient group of young men that have learned to fight and compete from the first whistle to the last. They are on the road for our final contest next week in Crystal City next Thursday, November 02, 2023.
Final: Lytle 6 - Jourdanton 28
Record: 4-4-1
