A night to remember!The defense was lights out all night, and the offense was only able to get things going on its final drive of the first half to make it 7-6 Burg at the half.
The second half was a battle of defenses with the score holding at 7-6 until Eastwood scored and got the two point conversion with 1:27 left in the game to take the lead 14-7. Quarterback, Trent Salyers then lead the Pirates on what is now simply known as "THE DRIVE". Trent hit 4 different receivers (Bryson Keeney, Cole Lowery, Tanner Holden, Makya Matthews) and lead his team 75 yards to score with a pass to Makya Matthews with 17 seconds to go. Jalen Miller hit the pressure packed extra point to tie the game at 14. In overtime the Pirates got the ball 1st and were faced with a 4th and 1 from the 11 yard line. Xander Carmichael hit Tanner Holden with a Tebow style jump pass to put the Pirates up 21-14. Eastwood would then look to answer, with their first play they were able to gain 9 yards. On their second play in overtime Alex George secured a tackle and then Avery Donini flew in like a missile to cause a fumble. Cole Lowery jumped on the ball and recovered it to secure the Pirate win!
