A traditional rival returns to Hannibal Friday night to renew the conflict. Hyperbole? Somewhat. Over the last four years the Pirates have had their way with the Bulldogs going 4-0 with an average score of 48-12. Historically a rivalry has both teams/schools winning games, that’s not been the recent history between these two. The Pirates have won the last seven straight. The last time Mexico defeated Hannibal was in 2017. Before 2017 these two almost always played close between each other.
