Wind in the Pirates' sails

By Tony Lee On Saturday, October 10, 2009
With the momentum switched over to the Pirates' side, the Dons went three-and-out.

Coast's Joe Galvez returned Santa Ana's punt for 20-yards and gave the Pirates the ball on the 43-yard line.

However, after a one-yard gain by Holley, then a four-yard sack on quarterback Ethan Whitsell, the Pirates stared down another third-and-long.

Coast called for a draw, about seven Dons were already in the backfield.

Ray Holley reversed to the other side and Whitsell made a key-block to get the Pirates a 10-yard gain.

Head coach Mike decided to punt the ball instead of going for the fourth down.

With 1:09 left in the game, the Dons are on its 10-yard line, staring down a third-and-six and the Pirates have no timeouts left.

An exciting finish is about to brew up at the LeBard Stadium.
