2010 Profile: Head Coach Don Dowling enters his third season at the helm of the Pirate ship. This year’s Pirate squad has their work cut out for them as they must replace the offensive workhorses from last year’s team. Mark Lawson, Jeff Davis and Terrence Green are all gone. Lawson accounted for almost 3,000 yards and 27 TDs in the last two seasons. The Pirates do return six starters on offense and five on defense. Dowling will suit up one of his smaller teams as far as numbers go, dressing out 20 players. Xavier Eutsay has shown promise at running back as has Blade Osborne at the QB position. Others that will see time in the offensive backfield include Delontre Keys, Jaylen Williams, Josh Rogers and Aaron Green. A strong point for the team will be the offensive line who return all but one starter. John Whittington, Ethan McClendon, C.J. Fussell, Lucas Pollack, Mickey Cassidy, and Todd Brown will anchor the Pirates in the trenches.
2010 District: Sneads is in one of the toughest districts around, playing in an 9 team district. Their district (Class 1A - District 1) includes Baker, Bozeman, Freeport, Holmes County, Jay, Northview (Bratt), Sneads, South Walton and Vernon. Freeport took the district crown last year and South Walton finished as the runner up. Sneads finished at a respectable 4-4 but know that they must improve that district record if they hope to make the playoffs.
2010 Schedule: Sneads will play a preseason game in Graceville and then open up the regular season at home against non-district foe Blountstown. They close the season with county rival Marianna. In between are eight straight district contest. They only break is an open date during mid-season. In their favor is the fact that Freeport, South Walton and Northview are all home games. That will put some of the tougher teams in the Pirates cove and cut down a little on their travel time.
2009: Finished the season with a respectable 5-5 record in the regular season and then won a post season bowl game against Trenton to finish 6-5. Lawson was the work horse on offense, rushing for over 1,000 yards and leading the team in scoring.
2010 Pirate Assistant Coaches: Jack Glover, Andy Ward and Shawn Graham. Team Chaplain is Andy Glover.
