Pirate footballers knock off Greenfield with big win on homecoming night

With a backdrop of a 1950’s themed homecoming—which was forced inside due to weather—the Ash Grove football team hosted the Greenfield Wildcats Oct. 11 and came away with a convincing 36-6 victory. The game really started rolling in the first half for the Pirates when freshman Parker Crow intercepted a pass from the Wildcats and ran it back 64 yards for a touchdown. The visitors never gained their
footing offensively and ended with a scant 6 points on the night. Although requested, no statistics of the game were submitted prior to this writing.
With the win, the Pirates move to 4-3 on the season and will travel to Marionville this Friday night.
