Pirates Rally to Beat Lions on the Road

Football

Pirate Football had to come from behind in the second half; after trailing hosts Salem 24-22 at the half, to defeat the Lions 36-31 in conference play.  The game played back and forth, neither team able to successfully stop the offense of the other.  Pirate penalties and turnovers  kept Salem in the game until the Charlestown defense flexed in the fourth quarter for two huge game saving stops.  The Pirates were led offensively by Anthony Malone, who finished the game with three touchdowns on 23 carries totaling 227 yards.  Malone was named the Coyle Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Coyle Nissan Offensive Player of the Game.  Brendan Lawler threw two touchdowns to Mitch Wurtsmith; finishing with 164 passing yards.  The Pirates finished the game with another game with more than five hundred (509) yards of total offense; out gaining the Lions by 112 yards.  Dakota Porter led the Pirates in tackles was named the Coyle Chevy, Buick, GMC and Coyle Nissan Defensive Player of the Game.  Charlestown continues conference play next Friday at Corydon.

Lady Pirates Fall to Warriorettes

Volleyball

Charlestown Lady Pirate Volleyball traveled to Scottsburg to close out Mid-Southern Conference play.  Varsity fell 3-0 (18-25, 17-25, and 21-25); ending their recent seven game win streak.  “I was hoping we could pull out a win in our last conference match, but Scottsburg was definitely the better team tonight.  Scottsburg covered the floor well and made it very difficult for us to put a ball down.  We would start to gain some momentum in the middle of the match, but it was never quite enough”, commented Coach Nuxoll.  The offense was led by Kaia Reid with 14 kills off of 19 assists from Maddie Nuxoll.  Emalee Craven had 7 kills and two aces.  Chrissa Ledbetter was our leader in passing and named the Coyle Chevy, Buick, GMC and Coyle Nissan Player of the Game by CPPSB.  Maddie Nuxoll finished the game with 11 digs for the Charlestown defense.  “Despite the loss, I am very pleased with our overall conference play.  We should come in at least fourth place which is a great improvement”, concluded Coach Nuxoll.  Charlestown recorded one conference win last year and none the year prior.  The Lady Pirates will travel to Rock Creek Monday for a 6 pm match.
