BREWER -- The PCHS Pirates earned their first 8-Person state championship in 40 years on Saturday when they defeated Telstar 2-1.

With less than 30 seconds to go in the opening half, Brady Gaw broke the scoreless tie when his shot bounced off of a Telstar defender and passed the goaltender, putting the Pirates up 1-0.

Chase Lander got in on the scoring action in the second half, and the Pirates' two goals proved to be enough to claim the 8-Person state title.
