The Garaway Pirates got their 2021 campaign off to a good start with a 27-0 win over New Concord John Glenn on Friday night in Sugarcreek.

The Pirates offense spread their scores through the first three quarters and stopped the Muskies from getting on the board multiple times after John Glenn entered Garaway territory.

Junior rusher Ethan Miller led the offense with two rushing touchdowns, while sophomore quarterback Logan Yoder scored twice – once in the air and once on the ground. On Miller’s lone passing touchdown, senior JD Young made a spectacular catch on the deep right side of the end zone.
