Hart knew it would need to execute its game plan to near-perfection to beat Montague for the first time in 26 years. The Pirates did just that, holding Montague to only 26 offensive plays in a 30-20 win!

Hart ground out long drives all night, including an over 10-minute one that put the Pirates ahead for good - and kept Montague from getting its first offensive snap until 8:07 left in the 2nd quarter.

Kolton Rockwell, Haegan Hansen, Keaghan Monroe, Kole Thomas, Sawyer Boos and many more enjoyed standout moments on a historic night in Hart.
