Let us take a look game by game and predict how the Pirate season will play out.

In sports the question ‘will this be the year’ associated with particular fan base is always comes up right before the beginning of a new season.
In these parts, you can ask this question in regards to the Georgia Bulldogs, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Florida Gators, Atlanta Falcons, and the list goes on.
Today we are going to ask this question about the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coming off a draft where the Jags added Leonard Fournette to spice up the running game and Cam Robinson to shore up an offensive line you start asking yourself why can’t this be the year for Jacksonville?

As I always say it is never too early to talk Pirate Football.
When you follow a program as closely as I have followed the BHS program as a former player and now broadcaster you develop some special bonds with former and current players.
One of those current players that I am really close to is senior LB Kam Futch. Futch is one heck of a football player.

I was sitting around in a hotel room in Haiti last week thinking about local high school football and in my 40 plus years of being a football fanatic in Glynn County you openly debate things in your mind, like who was better the better team the 1999 Pirates or the 2015 Terrors?
Who was better Darius Slay or Dee Jay Dallas? The list can go on and on, but then I asked myself ‘who is the most productive linebacker in all of your years watching football in this county’ and the name that comes immediately to mind is the heart and soul of the 2017 Glynn Academy Red Terror football team and his name is Hunter Hall.
