Congratulations to our Pirate Baseball team as they won the 1A Eastern Regional Championship on Saturday in Bear Grass. Good luck this coming weekend in the State Championship Series versus Cherryville. More information about the location and times for the championship series will be shared on our Facebook page as it becomes available. Good luck fellas!
Congratulations also to our Women's Soccer team on the most successful season in program history. They lost in the fourth round of the playoffs this week but demonstrated Pirate Pride with their effort and intensity all season long. Great job ladies.
