Welcome to “Pirate Tracks”, where you will be able to “track” recent results of PHS athletic activities as well as have a place to add your input on a variety of topics involving our athletic programs . Hopefully, visitors will give honest and insightful responses to questions posted here.  Our “Tracking the Pirates” links show up-to-date results of pirate athletic activities.  “Pirate Treasures” links has information about recent divisional and state competitions, All Conference and All State selections,  as well as previews (when possible) of teams currently competing in their season.  There is also a photo gallery of the Pirates and Lady Pirates, again seperated by seasons – Fall 2009 – Winter 2010 – Spring 2010 – Fall 2010.  I am continually gathering pictures for the galleries.  Mike Umphrey (PHS), Mike Humphrey, Bob Gunderson (PHS), Kris Sampson, and photos from the Leader/Advertiser and Valley Journal are also posted here from time to time.  Pictures can be purchased from Mike Humphrey, Kris Sampson, The Leader/Advertiser, and the Valley Journal.  If you have a picture that can be added to the gallery or comments in general about our PHS Athletic Blog, please email them to rgunderson@polson.k12.mt.us.

As a longtime Pirate coach (35 years) and a fan of all Pirate athletic activities, I am always interested in ways to improve the athletic programs at PHS.  Click on the Comments to read what has already been said and enter your own in the space provided.

I’ll start things out by asking for responses to either or both of the following  questions:

1. What can school officials and coaches do to get more student involvement as participants in the athletic activities at PHS?

2. What can school officials and coaches do to gain general student body support at athletic events?
