KAPLAN – The Kaplan Pirates defeated the North Vermilion Patriots Friday night, 37-6, at Ed Douglas Memorial Stadium.
Kaplan head coach Stephen Lotief was proud of how his team bounced back from a week one defeat and a week two cancellation due to Hurricane Francine.  His team had a good week of practice, and it showed.
 “We kept battling,” Lotief said.  “I’m proud that we stayed focused and kept after them.  Our motto this week was good, bad, or ugly, play the next play. Two weeks ago, we folded.  Tonight, we just played the next play.
