Just like the great novel A Tale of Two Cities, we had a great story of our own!!! It was called the Tale of Two Halves!
In the first half, just like a novice reader, I had no idea what was going on or what the plot was.
We weren't on the same page, our protagonist was nowhere to be found, and just like a middle school child asked to read a book instead of getting on Tik Tok, or watching the movie, it was extremely frustrating. But like all great novels, you keep trudging through only to find out the read was worth the wait!!! Epic endings and surprising twists are as much a part of a football game as they are in a classic piece of literature.
On defense, typical good play from Michael Scotello and a big hit by Aidan Alvarez kept us in the game as we were trailing 6-0 at the half on Thursday, October 5, 2023. Despite our offensive woes from missing several starters we hung tough.
Then the second half came along as well as our protagonist. AJ Cantu ripped off a 55-yard run to put us ahead 8-6. Outstanding play on both sides of the ball from Joseph Hernandez made the difference in the game, as your Mighty Pirates won the game 16-14 taking their record to 2-1. We look forward to seeing you next Thursday here in Lytle as we take on the Hondo Owls.
