Athens wins possession stat; Pirates own the scoreboard
It’s hard to beat six touchdowns in six possessions, which is what the Gilman Pirates got in a 54-16 home win over visiting Athens Friday to close out the regular season.
The Pirates sail into the playoffs riding a wave of momentum on offense. Since a Sept. 23 loss at Owen-Withee, the Pirates have scored 142 points in the three games, one of which was quickly shortened by a running clock.
