Final from Pond Creek. The Pirates needed a game like this. For one to get their confidence back and another to get some backups some much needed playing time.

This was also a good time to give Dixon, and a few others, some more rest to get completely healthy. Even though this is his 3rd straight game on the sidelines, he went out the 1st Qtr of the Alter game, I think the rest and healing time is more important than playing time for Dixon right now. Also, we may be getting our starting DE Brad Lowe back next game or two. Hes been out the entire season with a broken arm. Nice to see Mounts back on the field tonight as well.

Confidence is everything for this young team and tonight I think they got some of it back. Last week was a huge hit to this teams ego and brought them back down to earth. And my opinion, was exactly what they needed. If they can play the next three games with this type of result then the Pirates will be healthy (hopefully) going into the showdown in the season finale against Johnson Central and be ready for a deep run in the playoffs.
