Pirates Open Grid Season in 19-6 Win at Evergreen Park
Graettinger Pirates opened the high school grid season with a 19-6 victory over Gilmore City at Evergreen Park Friday night. Quarterback Butch Baedke threw two TD passes and scored a point on a sneak, while Gilmore City countered with a kickoff return and a score before halftime. Safe defense and improved tackling limited the visitors in the second half as Graettinger built the win with a razzle dazzle play set and solid ground gain from Tommy Grein and others. The Pirates showcase a strong lineup and hope Knutsen’s foot injury heals for this week’s game at Terril.
