Moments after the Pirates put the finishing touches on a 42-6 nonregion win over archrival Marion County – for Grider’s 200th career win – he was overcome by emotion and had to pause to collect himself before explaining what the victory meant.
“It’s odd how things work out sometimes, and to have it come against those guys, it’s just really special,” Grider said. “Two hundred wins means I’ve had a lot of awfully good players and some really good coaches to get us here.
