Pirates push Elmira in 36-30 loss

Game Date
Sep 17, 2021
Score
PIRATE: 30
ELMIRA HIGH SCHOOL: 36

The Phoenix football team came to play on Friday night.

Playing for a third straight week on the road, the Pirates put together their best effort of the season in a 36-30 non-conference loss at Elmira.

After scoring just six points combined in their first two games of the season the Pirates hit the end zone four times in the game. Ryan Watts threw three scoring passes while Jackson Selden, Jair Ramirez and Trevor Sharrar all caught touchdowns. Will Greenwood also ran for a score in the contest.

Phoenix trailed 28-14 early in the third quarter. Selden grabbed another pass from Watts to set up Greenwood's scoring run. After another Elmira touchdown, Sharrar hauled in a Watts pass and rumbled for a 52-yard score. 

The Pirates had a final possession but were unable to get back to the end zone again before the host Falcons ran out the clock.

Phoenix limited its penalties and did a much better job of tackling in this game compared to its first two starts of the season.

Phoenix is idle this week and will return to action on October 1 when it visits Hidden Valley to open Skyline Conference play.
