The season came to a close for the Emerson-Hubbard Pirates on Thursday as they lost 56-12 at Humphrey St. Francis in the first round of the playoffs.
I thought Emerson-Hubbard had a chance to be competitive and make things respectable on the scoreboard, but the Pirates just couldn't get it going.
Emerson-Hubbard ends the year at 4-5.
Making the playoffs had to be a good feeling for the Pirates. Sure Emerson-Hubbard would have loved to have won a playoff game or two, but anytime you end your season in the postseason, you're doing something right.
The win over Allen was huge for this team, and their biggest win of year, in my opinion.
The Pirates got blown out in their losses, but Emerson-Hubbard played some pretty good teams.
I think the seniors and other players for that matter can look into the mirror and feel proud of what they accomplished this season.
The Pirates graduate 8 seniors in Luke Stolze, Josh Sebade, Austin Carper, Caleb Gubbels, Nathaniel Parker-Diaz, Keaton Wreidt, and Noah Trenhaile.
I'm sure each and every one of these seniors was a big contributor in more than one way for Emerson-Hubbard.
I would say Sebade, Parker-Diaz, and Trenhaile are the biggest losses although graduating all 8 players is significant.
It's hard saying how good the Pirates are going to be next year, but I would say Emerson-Hubbard has a chance to make the playoffs again next season.
The returning players and newcomers need to work hard in the offseason, and spend a lot of time getting faster, stronger, and better at the game of football.
The more these players participate, the better they will be next season.
Everyone has to want to get better and have another good season in 2017. The more you play and work out and things like that, the better you will be.
It's like anything...the more repetitions you have at something, the better off you are the more successful you are likely to be.
