Some observers may have looked at the numbers going into Pittsburg’s bi-district matchup against Spring Hill and expected the Panthers to roll to easy victories. After all, the Pirates played the Panthers twice earlier in the season, falling in both matchups. Spring Hill also came into the matchup having only lost three games all season and none since their final district matchup.
