Braden River Pirates invade Staver Field on Friday
Braden River's last contest was a 31-28 victory over the Palmetto Ridge Bears. Much has changed since then as the Pirate head coach, Don Purvis, abrubtly resigned just last month. Spring games afford the coaching staff an opportunity to tryout their potential starters for the upcoming season as well as get a good look at the supporting cast. The Pirates will have the daunting tast of doing it with an interim coach that is not interested in taking over as the head coaching position.
The Pirates play against some of the same foes in their district that have pushed the Eagles over the past decade - Manatee & Venice. Braden River is in a larger classification than Naples, 7A vs 6A, but they are a young squad trying to find their identity.
Naples will be putting few returners on the offensive side of the ball, but bring back a defense that gained valuable experience during their deep playoff run. The spring game is a chance to see some familiar faces as well as up and coming Golden Eagles stars. Kickoff is at 7:30 - don't be late!
