The Pirates are now on a two-game winning streak and will be at home on Friday.

Kaplan wins second straight game

RAYNE — It is not hard to figure out why the Kaplan Pirates have won two straight games.
Look at the offense, the number of yards it gains, and the number of points it’s producing.
When you produce just over 800 total yards of offense in eight quarters and score 37 points a game, those two things should equal a win.
Kaplan scored 20 points in the season’s first two games and lost.
Kaplan head coach Cory Brodie attributes the turnaround to one thing — maturing.
