Crawford Pirates Take State Title, 28-14
Finish Undefeated Season, 16-0
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS The Crawford Pirates last Saturday night were not to be denied in their second ever trip to a State Championship game, defeating the Troup Tigers 28-14 at Birdville ISD Stadium in North Richland Hills for the class 2A Division II State Championship Title.
The Pirates made history and didn’t disappoint their huge crowd of fans that surely turned someplace in Central Texas into a ghost town, with Santa even paying a visit courtesy of the Pirate Marching Band and airplane banners showing support.
Come-from-behind wins and opponents with names associated with dynasty lined the road to the championship game, and the final stop for the 2004 state title would end in Crawford.
