The Pike County Pirates football team celebrated their 2012 season with a banquet at Christ Chapel Church with a catered dinner by Papa Willie's.
"This season was a year of success for the entire team,” said coach Brad Webber. "We got the season going with an overtime win over Upson-Lee and ended the season with a loss to Washington County in the state playoffs. We finished third in the region and that was our goal, to be in the state playoffs. We faced adversity late in the season with some sickness that hit the team hard but we played on with character and determination. I’m proud of every team member for their contribution.”
PCHS Pirates All Region players include (front row l-r) Tony Anthony, Artez Oglesby, Jess Devoursney, Tyler Gregory, (back row l-r) Cameron House and Dylan Jeffery.
