This week the Pirates play another one-win team, Kirksville, on the road, but Hannibal coach Mark St Clair is not looking past the Tigers.
"Kirksville is a good football team, don’t let (its) record fool you," St Clair said. "They have switched quarterbacks and they have a QB who is very efficient at running the read option, the counter option, and the gun."

Last week the Pirates opened North Central Missouri Conference play with a 35-7 win over Boonville that left Hannibal coach Mark St Clair pleased.
