ALPENA — The Harbor Beach Pirates made short work of the Black River-Harris Broncos in an impressive 40-0 win in their Division No. 8 state semi-final match at Park Family Field at the Alpena High School on Saturday.

The Broncos are from Delta and Menimonee counties, and the Harbor Beach is located in Huron County. The teams used Alpena as a neutral location after the Pirates arrived in town from the thumb in the lower peninsula and the Broncos arrived from the western, upper peninsula.
