How I managed not to blog about my hometown Pirates winning State Football Championship in their division, I do not know. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate, so I was super excited that they won...and in overtime! I hope to see a DVD copy of that game one day. The last time we won was in 1989, when Steve McNair was our quarterback. I remember that game like it was yesterday...
The 2009 win was bittersweet for our little town of not even 1000 residents, seeing that we last won in 89 and Steve died this past summer. His brother is one of the coaches for the team.
His son's team managed not to win in their division. Was a blow-out of a game, but watch for Steve McNair Jr as he plays for the University of Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles come the fall!
I think that Brett Favre's nephew's team won!
There's nothing like high school football in the South and if you haven't experienced it, you just have no idea what you're missing!
