People in Pierce City are generally known as cocky arrogant jerks. Who even through defeat find a way to declare victory. An example of their arrogance lies within the Pierce City Eagles High School Baseball team, who through a short streak of sucess over the most inferior teams in all of southwest Missouri gained enough confidence to talk a siginificant amount of poppycock on the rival Sarcoxie Bears Baseball team. Although over the course of three years the Bears have annhilated the Pierce city team the Eagles still found it right to promote their chances of victory onto all of the public. Well my friends three years later we still have produced the same results. Yet another crushing blow to the proverbial belt of the Pierce City Eagles baseball team. But still yet the Eagles will find a excuse to demote the Bears victory and declare victory as their own. A large amount of investigation has been put into this deal and we have found nothing but an impeccable force that the Bears have exuberated on the baseball diamond against the Eagles.
