Pirate Brew 11/22: Buzzer Beater Bobby

Today, we're looking at Bobby Pettiford's game-winning half-court shot.

Good morning. Did you get your Thanksgiving grocery shopping done yet? If not, you better get on it! The football team already picked up turkeys for the community.

What else are we mixing into today's Brew?

🏀 Men beat Kennesaw State
⚽️ Four women get Academic Honors
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

🛥 MORE, MORE, AND MORE

Grady-White Scores Again! The new Canyon 386, a 37-foot center console boat, is another winning design from our friends at Grady-White! As fellow pirates, we know you love to ply the waters for fish, fun, and relaxation; and this new boat delivers all that and more. An extra wide beam gives the 386 the most spacious layout of any center console boat of its size on the market today, providing room for four deluxe seats at the helm behind the wide integrated glass windshield, a huge fish-fighting cockpit, and a luxurious console interior, featuring an enclosed head with sink. That means plenty of space for the captain, first mate, and a crew of lads and lassies. Contact your dealer to learn more about this exceptional boat. 

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Last Second Dub. If there’s one guy you are passing the ball to for the last-second winning shot of the game, who are you choosing? Correct answer: Bobby Pettiford Jr. The junior made a half-court shot to win the game against Kennesaw State. Pettiford was right behind RJ Felton’s 19 points with 18 of his own for a career-high. The Pirates shot 41.3% from the field goal and won 85-84.

🔼 Fantastic Four. Not only are these women smart on the field, but they also bring their knowledge to the classroom day in and day out. The College Sports Communicators named Lindsey Aiken, Maeve English, Sydney Schnell and Abby Sowa to the Academic All-District honors. To qualify, the athletes had to be at least a sophomore, have a 3.50 cumulative GPA, and compete in 90% of the games or start in at least 66% of their games played.
