Pirates state their case as one of the best

Putnam City held on for a 24-21 win in Lawton against Eisenhower.

The Pirates held a 24-7 lead after three quarters, but Ike made the game interesting by scoring two touchdowns in the final period.

After surrendering a 24-yard touchdown pass from Brayden Stringer to Bryce Crowder, the Pirates lit the scoreboard up twice in the second period.

Tyler Wegner scored on a 3-yard run and Jerome Carr scored on a fumble recovery.

PC scored twice again in the third quarter on a 1-yard run by Greg Cortes and a 36-yard field goal by Wegner.

With Eisenhower closing to within three points late in the game, the Pirates gambled on a fourth-and-short on their own side of the field. The first down allowed the Pirates to run additional time off the clock.

The unbeaten Putnam City Pirates have moved to No. 7 in the latest OKCPrepSports football rankings.
