The link between the Pirates of that era and the modern-day team remains intertwined as Charlie Ramirez, a sophomore linebacker in 1991, is entering his first season as head coach at his alma mater this fall. “At halftime, it was 21-21 and I watched our team sprint off the field to a makeshift locker room in the Coliseum and then they sprinted back out. They were so laser-focused on this game.
Pittsburg coach Herc Pardi holds the trophy aloft after the Pirates defeated De La Salle in the 1991 NCS 3A final at the Oakland Coliseum. “How they prepared and how they went through the offseason, they set the bar,” Ramirez added. “They set the bar high throughout the entire process. For us to win it, it was expected.”
