Vidor wasn’t able to pick up any points out of that second-quarter possession as a keeper on a fake field goal play fell just inches short on 4th-and-4 from the PN-G 15.

Hemmings gained 119 of his 134 yards in the first half as the Pirates made adjustments in the second half.

PN-G fell victim of two fumbled snaps by Tatum on its first two possessions of the second half, but Vidor was unable to take advantage of the turnovers on its four third-quarter drives, being forced to punt the ball back three times and failing to convert on a 4th-and-4 from the PN-G 37.

The Indians only possession of the fourth quarter was stymied after PN-G was flagged three times for 34 yards. The Pirates began their final drive with over six minutes left in the contest and were able to run 18 plays before the decisive fourth-down sack.

PN-G returns home next week for a district contest against Central. The Jaguars were blanked by Dayton, 20-0.

“Central will be a big game for us,” Burnett said. “We will have to get over this one and learn from our mistakes to keep the momentum going.”

Meanwhile, after losing back-to-back games to two 22-4A powers (the Indians and Central) by a combined 13 points, the Pirates travel to Ozen.
