Hey Pirates: 'Ar' You Ready for Some Football?
With hard work in the off season and healthy players, Port High School Pirate's football team looks forward to a successful season.
After much hard work in the weight room during the off-season, the Port Pirates are preparing for an exciting upcoming season.
Head Coach Tim Greisch has reason to be optimistic with return of a strong senior class. Pirates senior leaders include Taylor Devenport, Zach Hauser, Max Kaske and Nick Godersky who are all three-year varsity letter winners.
After many injuries last season, Greisch is optomistic that this year the Pirates will stay healthy, making, "the sky is the limit for the Pirates."
