Pirate Pete was honored at the game on Friday Night.
"On behalf of our entire community, we want to extend our deepest thanks for 10 incredible years as our beloved icon Pirate Pete. For a decade, you’ve brought energy, pride, and spirit to every event, game, and gathering. Your enthusiasm has become a symbol of what it means to be part of this community — strong, united, and full of heart.
From cheering on our students to representing us at parades and celebrations, you’ve made “Pirate Pride” something we all feel deeply. Your dedication has inspired generations of students, athletes, and families to carry that same spirit wherever they go.
Thank you for being more than just a mascot — thank you for being the face, heart, and soul of our Pirate family. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!!
With gratitude and pride,
The Napoleon Athletic Department and Booster Club"

JV Football Update!
The JV Football crossover will be Monday October 27 at 6:00pm at Stockbridge High School (record 6-1-1). There is an odd number of JV teams in our conference so we had to pull in one non-league team to make an even number. Napoleon against Stockbridge should be a good matchup!
Let's GO PIRATES! Keep up that undefeated season!
