GRANTS - On Friday, September 6, 2024 the Pirates were at home as they were set to take on the 3A Dexter Demons in a very good matchup.
Unfortunately the Pirates (1-2 overall) took a tough loss against a tough Demon squad, 34-12, their second straight after beginning the year with a victory.
In the loss, Pirates’ Quarterback Tristin Fernandez finished the night off with 65 all Purpose yards as he threw for 35 yards and rushed for 30 yards. On the defensive side, Joe Clawson finished the night with 3 sacks and Boudy Melonas finished off the night off with 8 solo tackles.
Grants will be in action on Friday, September 13, 2024, as the Pirates will be on the road to take on the Espanola Valley Sundevils. The 4A Sun Devils are 3-0 on the season, having beaten Los Alamos, Cuba, and Capital, a pair of 5A teams and a 2A team. But get this: the Pirates have not played against the SunDevils in five years; the Pirates won that game 53-0.
Game time is set for 6:00 p.m. in Espanola.
