The Pirate football team ended its regular season with two close losses to playoff-bound opponents. Stone Mountain lost to Southwest DeKalb 17-6 in the regular season finale a week after falling to Chamblee 21-6. The Pirates finished their season 3-7 overall and 3-6 in Region 6-AAAA play. Against the Bulldogs, De’Antonio Murray was the recipient of a 65-yard touchdown reception from Tsukasa Longino to cut Chamblee’s lead to 14-6 right before halftime. However, that would be all of the points the Pirates would get. Longino was playing quarterback in place of Jhyree Harris, who was injured on Stone Mountain’s first offensive series. The Pirates should improve next year as they return several key players. Harris, who is in his first year at the school, and sophomore running back Michael Gilbert are just two of the pieces Stone Mountain can build around. … The boys cross country team finished sixth at the Region 6-AAAA Championships. Joshua Kelly led the way, as he ran an 18:22 to finish 17th. Jonathan Spivey finished 32nd (19:21) for the Pirates and Abdisa Lolo came in 35th (19:39).
