"I'd rather it be a pass because I like to throw the ball," said Hatton, the Pirates' senior quarterback. "I'm pretty confident and I know coach is too in my ability to throw the ball. But I like to spread it around a bit." Through the first half of the season, the Pirates have found a nice balance in their offense. Long known for its ability to grind out yardage on the ground, Hannibal has been just as effective passing the ball during its 4-1 start. http://qui.live.mediaspanonline.com/new_story/10-2-Hannibal-feature
