Union County

On a very chilly September night, things warmed up for the Union County football team on senior night. UC jumped out to a 28-0 lead behind three touchdown runs and a 55-yard touchdown pass en route to their 56-12 win at BNA Bank Park.

Down 28-0, Benton County managed one touchdown late in the first half, before Broderick Montgomery added a 25-yard touchdown for UC, giving them a 36-6 halftime lead.

Montgomery had three rushing touchdowns and 2.5 sacks in the first half alone and drew praise from his head coach Scott Duley.

East Union is using this week to prepare for their playoff run, handing West Union a season ending 11-6 loss on Tuesday.

Union County saw improvements in their offense, opening up the passing game in their 41-20 setback at Strayhorn Friday night.

UC found themselves down early, 14-8, after two turnovers resulted in touchdowns for Strayhorn. UC responded to the Mustangs first score with a 70-yard Broderick Montgomery touchdown, and Vadale Rucker added two late touchdowns on throws from D.J. Armstrong in the fourth quarter.

Ashley Leach has come up with big hits for the Lady Urchins throughout the season, and added a three hit performance on Tuesday, helping East Union defeat Hickory Flat in five innings, 11-1.
