Many Appling County Pirate fans traveled over 270 miles to Calhoun on Friday, Dec. 2 to support the Pirates as they played in the State 2AA final four against the Calhoun Yellow Jackets (14-0). The Pirates were not able to pick up the win, losing 14-51, but ended the season with an amazing record of 12-2 overall while going 6-1 in region play. The Pirates made it to the final four for the second time in school history with the only previous time coming during the 1999 season and one season removed from finishing 4-7 overall and 3-4 in region play.
The Pirates will be moving up to AAA next season as the GHSA is adding a new AAAAAA classification in 2012. More information will be shared about the new region alignments and schedule as soon as it becomes available.
Congratulations Pirates on a great season and we look forward to seeing you play next year!
