Halfway Through District Play

Our Gore Pirates have made it halfway through their season and are well on their way to the playoffs. The Pirates were defeated by the Central Sallisaw Tigers; however, they have continued to play with heart and strive to succeed. Their efforts are not in vain as they defeated Canadian, Quinton and Savanna the past three weeks.

Tomorrow night our Gore Pirates will take on 2A Hartshorne at home. This will be the last guaranteed home game for our 2012 Pirates as well as Senior Night.

Thank you again to Bighorse Photography for a few pictures from the previous weeks.

Pirates Continue to Strive for Excellence

Our Gore Pirates put up a fight this past friday night as they took on the 3A Heavener Wolves. Although our Pirates were unable to bring home a win last Friday, we are looking forward to bringing home another win tonight as the Pirates take the field against Central Sallisaw at home. In addition, we have two special events occurring this evening. First, our Pirates are honoring former football Coach Ben Baker and all of his accomplishments in starting the very first Gore Football team. A special recognition ceremony will be held prior to kick-off tonight in his honor. In addition, the Pirates are also bringing awareness to Cancer this week as we have a "Win-Win" night. Our Pirates will be representing their participation in this event by wearing all-black on the football field this evening.

So grab your Pirate gear and head out to the football stadium this evening to cheer on our Gore Pirates to another VICTORY!

Thank you again to Bighorse Photography for the pictures from last week's Gore vs. Heavener game.
