The opening night of Friday night lights was anything but normal with a rain drenched field and stadium lights that didn’t want to stay lit. The Pirates took the first game with a 10-6 win over the McIntosh Chiefs.
The Chiefs took the kickoff and returned it to their 24 yard line. On the fifth play of the drive, Kody Adams intercepted the Chiefs quarterback at the 45 and ran it back to the 33 yard line.

Pirates leave Chiefs in the dark
Pike and McIntosh swapped the ball back and forth at midfield. Fumbles, miscues and penalties plagued both teams in the first half. The Pirates struck the end zone first with a one yard plunge by Tommy Smith for the touchdown. The drive started at the Pirates’ 45 and took about four minutes and eight plays to hit pay dirt. Chau hit the PAT for a 7-0 lead with 6:28 left in the first half.
