More Pirate Football Accolades!
Daniel Named All-State QB
 Just
weeks after eleven different Pirate Football players were named
all-conference and to the all-area team; the accolades continue this week.
Thursday, Pirate Junior Quarterback Aaron Daniel was named the
Indiana Class 3A All-Star Quarterback by the Associated Press. Daniel
finished the 2011 season completing over 66% of his passes for a total of
1,809 yards and 17 touchdowns, while also leading the team in rushing with
1,579 yards and 30 touchdowns. “Aaron had a great season and it is nice
that people outside the
 community
see that; I am very proud of Aaron as he continues to represent Charlestown
well on the field and in the classroom”, commented Coach Hawkins.
Last but not
least, and for the second straight year, the Evening News and Tribune named
Charlestown Head Football Coach Jason Hawkins their All-Area Coach of
the Year. Hawkins, who just completed his 5th season at the
helm, has coached the program to a 40-15 combined record; which is quite the
turnaround in comparison to the 7-43 program record for the five years prior
to his arrival. |

Bests Pioneers 41-28
 The
Pirate Football team traveled to Clarksville to challenge long time
rival Providence on the grid iron. The Pirates (6-2 & 5-1 MSC) played
out of sync in the first half and took a touchdown deficient to the break,
21-14. The Pioneers (4-4) established a run offense the Pirates found
difficult to stop in the first two quarters, giving up two touchdowns in the
second on one play drives. The Pirates turned the tables in the second
half, spreading the offense and airing the ball out at will versus the
senior night hosts. With just over four minutes remaining in the game,
the score tied at 28, the Pirates recovered a Pioneer fumble to score, then
forced the ball back on downs to score again and finish. The Pirates
were led offensively by Junior QB Aaron Daniel, who finished the
night 14 of 21 for 140 yards of passing with a touchdown and 184 yards on 30
carries, including five touchdowns. Defensively the Pirates were led

opponent offenses from several angles. There’s something in the air, and on
the ground…..don’t miss the action as it kick-offs tonight at 7:00 pm. Fans

The Pirate Football Program learned that it will remain in Class 3A
Sectional #23 again for the next two years, but that the sectional will see
several changes. School enrollment changes and the addition of Varsity
Football at Silver Creek are the two factors for the majority of the
sectional lineup shake-up; which moves Indian Creek, Brown County and
Edgewood to 3A Sectional #22. The sectional remains an eight team
sectional, including Brownstown, Charlestown, Corydon, Heritage Hills,
Mitchell, North Harrison, Salem and Silver Creek. MSC foe Brownstown
moves into Sectional #23 after increased enrollment changes their class from
2A to 3A; along with Mitchell, who's enrollment moves them from 2A to 3A.
Add the new 3A Silver Creek Varsity Football program into the mix and
Sectional #23 becomes move of a Mid-Southern Conference post season
tournament; with Heritage Hills and Mitchell playing odd-ball out.
