What a fantastic end to the season. We did NOT win the game vs Jourdanton last night but we DID play with more determination and heart than I have seen out of this group over the past 2 years. We started out the game getting the ball and we put together a flawless 6 minute drive to tally the first score of the game. Burl Jopling hit Xzander Flores in the endzone on a toss pass. Elliot Mata hit Jopling for a 2-pt conversion. We slugged out the rest of the 1st half and were tied at 8 at halftime.
In the 2nd half the Indian size and strength was just a little too much for us to overcome. We scored on a Jopling run that carried 3 Indians into the endzone. Our entire offense executed plays as good as anytime this season. Our defense gave it all they had. They flew around and played with little regard for their bodies. It was a very impressive night for the Pirates.
Let us take this time to thank: TEACHERS, Administration, Cheerleaders, Trainers, Parents, Athletic Department, Concessions, Gate Personnel, Chain volunteers...the list goes on and on.
