After connecting with Cooper, this time on a 40-yard pitch-and-catch, Moore capped another scoring series with a nine-yard touchdown jaunt as the Pirates led 12-0 at intermission.
Quirante expanded the margin to 19-0 with 0:25 left in the third when he shredded the Clear Brook secondary on a 50-yard touchdown gallop.
Clear Brook trimmed it to 19-7 but the Pirates marched down the field again and scored on a Quirante 1-yard run.
