“Awesome game Pirates! Y’all outlasted 11 Saints and 4 Refs!” This was the first comment I saw about the Pirates Friday night game against Holy Spirit, Saturday morning when I woke up. I found it to be an accurate representation of the game Friday night. The boys from Pickens County traveled to Tuscaloosa determined to bring home a WIN and they did just that.

Gordo and Oakman gave the fans a great game Friday night at Gordo. Back and Forth all night as the two teams traded blows for 4 quar- ters in a big Region 5 contest as the winner would take over 2nd place in the Region. The Green Wave defense had a hard time stopping the running game by the Wildcats in the 1st half as Tyler Thomas carried the ball, but the 2nd half the Green Wave defense stepped up and held the Wildcat offense to only 7 points in 2nd half.
