A consistent leader for the Eagles throughout his career, West Union’s Chase Taylor earns Player of the Week honors following his performances against Water Valley and Mantachie.

We’re quickly approaching my favorite weekend of the year, the Union County basketball tournament.
The tournament will be held at New Albany, and boasting the number one seeds this year are West Union girls and East Union boys.
At the time of seeding, the Lady Eagles were 13-4, and following West Union will be New Albany, East Union, Ingomar and defending champion, Myrtle.
Using winning percentage to seed the teams, the Urchins hold the advantage over two seed Myrtle, followed by defending champion New Albany, Ingomar and West Union.

West Union’s Julianna Garner earned top honors in Region 2-1A, named the division Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year.
Leading the Lady Eagles to a division title, Garner was one of four players from West Union named to the first team. Joining Garner are Bailey Bogue, Hannah McQuary and Brittany Taylor.
Myrtle had three named to the first team, Keely Chunn, Meshay Cox and Emily Cox, while Ingomar’s Heather Dillard and Reid Little represented the Lady Falcons.

Focusing on more playing time for the younger players on the team, New Albany picked up a convincing 85-32 win over Vardaman in the Renasant Girls Challenge last Saturday.
