It took Pittsburg a minute to get going in Friday's showdown with Gilmer, but the floodgates soon opened and the Buckeyes had a real problem as far as finishing their District 7-4A Division II schedule as the unbeaten league champions.
Fortunately for Gilmer, it had senior linebacker Jeremy Kelly. He recorded three takeaways in a 51-35 win that was only a 38-35 contest midway through the fourth quarter and a 28-24 deficit at halftime.
