The Crookston Pirate Football season came to an end tonight with a 0-63 loss to Pelican Rapids. We were missing a few players for the game and a senior went down early in the game so heโs also missing in the senior photo. Definitely not how we wanted the season to end but weโre so proud of the entire team!
To our seniorsโฆ
Zech, Jose, Dexter, Masen, Tate and Caseyโฆ
You all have showed what it means to be a great teammate, a great friend and more importantly, a truly great role model for your younger teammates. The team, your coaches, the fans and your team moms will miss you all next year. We wish you all nothing but the absolute BEST because all six of you deserve it. Enjoy the rest of your senior year and focus on whatever next sport you play next and/or your grades in the classroom! Always strive to be the better version of yourself and you will succeed at whatever you do. โค๏ธ
To the teamโฆ
Yes, weโre a young team but the growth you all showed this season was incredible. You pushed yourselves for your teammates and yourself. Keep up the hard-work and put time in on the offseason for next year! Youโll come back a year older, stronger, wiser and ready to take on the season.
To the juniorsโฆ
You will be our seniors next season and your teammates will look to you for leadership so we encourage you to step up and take on that role respectfully on the field and in the classroom.
To the sophomoresโฆ
Youโll be one year closer to being the oldest ones on the field. Make sure you represent yourself well for the team and your school by being kind and respectful both on the field and in the classroom.
To the freshman and lone 8th graderโฆ
Youโll no longer be the โyoung onesโ on the team and the 8th graders coming up will be looking to you guys to show them the ropes. Lead them, guide them and help them when needed. You all know what it was like going into high school from junior high so be a mentor to those kids that represent our team well. That means on the field and in the classroom.
To the parentsโฆ
Thank you for allowing us the time this season with your child. Itโs definitely been a year of change and I think our team, school and community have loved seeing all the changes!
Lastly, we need our players on the field so make sure youโre putting in the effort to play in the classroom! We canโt be a winning team without winning in the classroom first.
