Tonight, the Lady Pirates took on the Pierce City Lady Eagles in a hard-fought matchup. The girls battled from start to finish and left it all on the court, but came up just short in the final seconds of the game. We are proud of the grit and determination our Lady Pirates showed tonight! Crane 62: Pierce City 63

The Crane Pirates faced off against the Spokane Owls tonight! The JV ended in a tie, while the Varsity had a big win! Another highlight of the evening was the wonderful half-time performance of our Elementary cheerleaders showing us what they learned from Cheer Camp this week! Thank you to our junior high and high school cheerleaders, our mascot, and our cheer coaches for organizing, and teaching the elementary cheerleaders throughout camp! It was a great night to be a Pirate!
