[Pirate4Life]

Well my Pirates looked great for a season opener. Few penalties, no turnovers, but we do lose a great player for most of the season. Our D held up well (even in the secondary) and our offensive was firing on all cylinders. I am disappointed in the Belfry crowd , it seemed dead and very quite (even at the beginning of the game.) If we get better every week the Pirates will be tough to beat come playoff time. Haywood and the staff did an exceptional job getting the boys ready for this game.

I thought H.C. was blistering fast , you can see several D-1 players developing on that team. They showed Belfry that city boys know how to pop some pads too. They also showed class and grace in defeat. I wish them a safe trip home and a great season.
