If you couldn't tell by the team prematurely sprinting on the field, you could tell by Coach Dennis Lee's hop skip and repeated jumps after the final whistle.  Bluffton got a huge win over Carey in the most dramatic fashion at home Friday night, 31-28.  Christian Koch bombed a 32 yard field goal through the uprights with just 4 seconds remaining and the Pirates everywhere celebrated.

Junior signal caller Hunter Joseph found classmate RJ Stratton for 4 catches and 133 yards Friday night.  Three of them went for touchdowns.  The slippery receiver scored on passes of 33, 55 and 31 yards.  Joseph was 6/10 for 174 yards on the evening.

The win was a great one for the team and the town.  After the game coach Lee proclaimed, "This was a fun win.  We took advantage of the opportunities given to us and...well, this was just a great win to get!"  

Congratulations Pirates.  Enjoy the win.
