For the fifth straight season, Bluffton defeated Cory-Rawson and moved to 1-0.
This year, the Pirates put 54 points on the board and the defense limited the Hornets to just 74 total yards and zero points. Second year Pirate head coach Kyle Cutnaw was pleased with his squad’s output.
“We came out focused and followed our game plan. The boys did not let up on the pedal and played well throughout the game. I’m proud of our guys.”
