The Olympians missed a last-second three-point shot to give the Pirates the win. Jack McKinsey and Justin Adkins scored 11 points each to lead the Pirates. Lutz scored 9 points. Columbus East’s Carter Patterson led all scorers with 23 points. The Pirates head to Christmas break with a 4-2 record. They return to the court on Dec. 28 at Richmond in the Bob Wetting Tournament. The Pirates play their first game in the tournament at noon against Scecina.
