A number of Pittsburg Lady Pirate volleyball players were honored by the coaches of District 15-4A with the release of the All-District team last week.
Seven Pittsburg cross-country runners were named to the Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) academic all-state teams, announced recently.
It’s the close losses that hurt most. The moments when a team battles from start to finish of a close game and falls just short. Those are the losses that makes one hang their head and perhaps speak out of frustration, as one Pittsburg fan did immediately following the Pirates’ 35-34 area round loss to Quinlan Ford.
This season has shown the Pittsburg Pirates have tenacity, perseverance, and grit, as Coach Abron put it. After their smashing victory in Hallsville last Friday over Brownsboro, 53-0, the Pirates are preparing for a matchup with Quinlan Ford in Sulphur Springs on Nov. 19.
One of the few individuals to nearly escape the Pittsburg Pirate defense Friday during the team’s bi-district playoff game was Head Coach Triston Abron -- but even he couldn’t get away.
