/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/gray/W6OB5DHTJFHBXNTZUPYLD6ZWGY.png)
Head Coach: Jason Bachman
District: 8-5A DII
School Colors: Royal Blue, Gold
Stadium Address: 900 Northwest Dr, Longview, TX 75608
2022 Record: 2-8
Notes: In Coach Jason Bachman’s first year leading the Pine Tree program, the team finished 2-8. The Pirates return 14 total starters from last year’s team, six on offense and eight on defense. Bachman says his team’s experience on both sides of the ball will be their biggest strength this going into the new season. The Pirates will have some inexperience at key positions on the field; that is something Bachman says that is their biggest area of concern.
