Phoenix Pirates Football 24-8 Hidden Valley

Phoenix picked up a convincing road win Friday night, defeating Hidden Valley 24-8 in a Skyline Conference (4A) football matchup. The Pirates, representing Phoenix, Oregon, made the trip to Hidden Valley and came away with a performance that should give the program some confidence heading into the heart of league play. The victory moves Phoenix to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in conference action, evening up their Skyline record after an earlier league setback. Holding the Mustangs to just eight points on the road is no small feat, and the Pirates' defense deserves credit for keeping Hidden Valley's offense in check throughout the contest. Offensively, Phoenix generated enough production to keep the scoreboard moving and never let Hidden Valley build any real momentum. With the schedule only getting tougher from here, this road win offers a solid foundation for the second half of the regular season. Phoenix will look to build on the momentum when they return home next week.
