Pirates 7 on 7 Champs

The Branson Pirates got their football summer off to a good start by claiming the Parkview 7 on 7 Tournament Championship.  They got the better of a couple of Conference rivals in doing so.

After dropping a couple of games in pool play, the Pirates hit their stride once the event hit bracket play.  The final four included three COC teams.  Branson beat Carthage in the semi-finals before taking care of Neosho for the title.

While, some may say it was just 7 on 7 and things are different once you put the pads on and get the linemen involved, the fact remains its a great step as the Pirates look to turn around the fortunes of the past couple of seasons.

It was the first time Branson has won the event which was held for the sixth time.  But Coach Henderson led his Osage team to the title back in 2012.
