The Pirates traveled to Cordele to face the Crisp County Cougars Friday night in the first round of the GHSA playoffs. It was a rematch of last year’s second round, which the Pirates won 26-25. Against a Cougar team that was hungry for revenge, and in the rain and cold of November, Pike needed to play its best game of the season in order to win.
