“It’s Senior Night for us. It’s the final home game for this senior class, and we know we have a good Pittsburg Pirate team coming in here. Hopefully, we can rebound from last week and win out.
“Hopefully, we’ll have a chance to at least finish second in the district, depending on what happens with Spring Hill and Pleasant Grove. It’s almost playoff time, so you never know. We may get a rematch with PG, hopefully, in the third round.”
