🏈🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ It was a great night for Pirate Athletics!

JV Football kicked off their season with an intense 24-22 victory over Cass City! Meanwhile, our Cross Country teams were also in action at Cass City, where the girls brought home the first-place trophy! 🏆 Both teams had numerous strong individual performances as well.

Way to go, Pirates! Keep up the great work!

(See our previous post for more Cross Country pictures of the girls' team victory!)

📸 Save the date & get those outfits ready! Picture Day is right around the corner! We can’t wait to see all those Pirate smiles and capture some great memories.
