Football roundup: Pirates spoil homecoming for Chiefs

RONAN – The Polson Pirates ruined the Ronan Chiefs’ homecoming Friday night with a 47-12 win.

"I thought Coach Detweiler and his staff had their guys fired up and ready to go,” said Polson Pirate head coach Kaden Glinsmann. “They really played hard."

Pirate quarterback Jarrett Wilson threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Pirates to their fourth consecutive win on the season. Wilson also ran 10 times for 46 yards and four touchdowns.

On the night for the Pirates, senior kicker Tia Mercer split the uprights five times moving her overall season PAT total to 23-of-27 according to online stats service Hudl.

"I think one of our bright spots this year is Tia Mercer,” noted Glinsmann. “She's done a great job of being coachable and a great teammate. Besides Jarrett, she'll be a top leader in scoring on our team and we're all so proud of her."

Pirate running back Keyen Nash rushed for 100 yards on 13 carries and a touchdown, while Owen McElwee led all wide receivers with 90 yards on two catches and a touchdown.
