Crandall Wins Close One Over Jacksonville
By Patrick Luecke Photos by Jason Bowie The Pirates packed up the buses for the first road trip of the season. They were headed to the famous Tomato Bowl, in Jacksonville, for a matchup with the 0-2 Fightin’ Indians. Crandall came in with a 2-0 record and a confident team that controlled Kaufman last week in convincing fashion. Jacksonville won the toss, deferring to the second half, giving Crandall the ball to start the game. Senior Luke Moffitt and Junior wideout Joshua Smith are a great one-two punch that would be used a lot against the Indians. On the second play of the drive Moffitt connected with Smith for a 36-yard gain, putting the Pirates deep in Indian territory. Three plays later Moffitt would hit 6’4” Smith in the back of the endzone for the touchdown. It took Crandall 78 seconds to put the first points on the board.
