Pirates pitch a shut out of South Point

SOUTH POINT — They say all things, whether good or bad, must soon come to an end. Unfortunately for the South Point High School football team, it’s dream season met that end last Friday night —against the tradition-rich and storied program that is the Wheelersburg Pirates. Notice that read one team playing against one program. The Pointers’ magical season officially ended against visiting Wheelersburg in the Division V Region 19 quarterfinals, as the fifth-seeded Pirates pitched a shutout and scored the final 44 points over the final almost 32 minutes — winning 44-0 at South Point’s Alumni Field. For the fourth-seeded Pointers, with first-year head coach Brian Wroten, they went 9-2 — and captured their first Ohio Valley Conference championship in two full decades (2006).
