Olathe, Colo (KKCO)-The No. 4 ranked Olathe Pirates beat the No. 1 ranked Florence Huskies 24-20 to advance to the 2A state finals.

The Pirates lost to the Huskies back in week two, 35 to 21. Until Saturday, the Huskies had won 21 of their last 22 games stretching back into last season. The Pirates got a scare in the second quarter when Keifer Wollert looked like he sustained a serious left knee injury, but the Senior QB returned for the entire second half.
