The Pittsburg Pirates are preparing to hit the decks for the 2022 football season. With Coach Abron as the captain of the team for the second year, hopes are riding high for a long and exciting season.
Every two years, UIL schools go through the biannual redistricting process, where some schools switch classifications and receive new neighbors in their districts. Most of the attention is placed on the new football districts.

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.
Dalton Hall’s teammates had good things to say of him on May 11 when he signed a letter of intent to play with the baseball team at East Texas Baptist University.
