Brunswick High Pirates
KEYS TO WINNING

Stay healthy
Injuries plagued the Pirates in 2012, particularly for talented quarterback Cory Dixon. If the Pirates are going to compete in one of the toughest regions in Georgia, they’ll need to have all their weapons each and every week.

Strike a balance
The spread offense employed by Victor Floyd’s Pirates relies on the arm of the quarterback and a solid corps of receivers, but the running game is equally important to keep the opposition “honest.” Brunswick High’s ability to run the ball and run effectively will enhance its chances in 2013.
win the turnover battle
Interceptions and fumbles plagued the Pirates in 2012, as they did in this year’s season opener. Limiting those turnovers is essential for the Pirates, as is taking the ball away from their opposition. As any player and coach knows, the turnover battle often plays a key role in deciding games.

get off the field
Stopping the opposition and getting its defensive team off the field was a problem for Brunswick High a season ago. A new philosophy this season has the Pirates lining up in a 4-3 scheme, which will mean linebacker play will be very important. Learning that scheme well and limiting big plays will be essential.
