CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Rockport-Fulton Pirates will largely be hitting the reset button on their roster and also in district play with moving up a division.
The Pirates have gone to 4A-Division I and are trading in a Coastal Bend-heavy district schedule for one that's more San Antonio area-based to go along with Beeville and Port Lavaca.
Rockport-Fulton must fill a huge hole left by 16 graduating seniors, but they do have a returning backfield duo of quarterback Ace Seibert and running back Devin Phillips.
The duo says it'll be important to build chemistry with the new guys in the early non-district schedule against some tough teams like Miller, Sinton and Flour Bluff.
