DADE CITY — For the first time in a long time, the Pasco High football team is in a playoff race and about to play its first truly big game in several years. Under first-year coach Cortez Stubbs, the Pirates have won their last three games (including last Friday night’s 35-2 victory against Cypress Creek), to put their record at 4-3.
