They will open with Milton in a 5:55 p.m. game then play Saturday at 1 against Blessed Trinity. Games will take place at Kennesaw State University. The Pirates will come home Tuesday March 1, to host the Newnan Cougars.
“Our depth is as good as any team I’ve coached in the past seven years. Our pitching and hitting will take us a long way this season. I look for every player to play a big part. We were just short last season of the title game. This year is the year to reach our final destination of the championship.”
