Moultrie’s record night leads the Pirates to 5-0 record
In a previous interview, Philip Moultrie said he would run for 300 yards in a game this season. He’s done it. His 308 yards (according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal) helped the Matanzas blowout the New Smyrna Barracudas 58-28 on Monday, Oct. 3, in New Smyrna.
The Pirates scored eight touchdowns, and Moultrie accounted for six of them, ranging from three to 93 yards – a school record. He even had a 60-yard touchdown run called back. Trent Steward scored the other two runs.
Philip Moultrie has now accounted for over 900 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns through five games.
“It makes me feel good, knowing I could’ve gotten close to 400 yards,” Moultrie said. “And I give my line a lot of credit, because that was the best they’ve blocked all year. They just didn't give up last.”
The Pirates will next put their undefeated season on the line against the area’s best – Mainland Bucs – in two weeks at Matanzas.
Max commits to Notre Dame

He will be playing at the Coliseum home of the Oakland Raiders on January 21st televised by ESPN.
