Very proud to be a Pirate!

I read all the trash this week and wanted to wait until after the game to respond. But after talking to many humble, genuine, and down right awesome Harlan County fans at the game I've got nothing bad to say about their community, school, or football team.

The campus and stadium is absolutely breath taking. The home crowd reminded me of the days we were a big 3A school, and the crowds that packed into Vipperman Stadium aka Death Valley until 2004.

I'm tickled to death that the Pirates won the game, but I'm even more excited that we all got treated to some excellent football. Folks, this game was played at a very high level and you don't get to see two teams of this caliber compete very often in EKY. This one was well worth the price of admission and the long walk from the road. :biggrin:
