Union County

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.

The young Union County team was once again tested on the road and faced their toughest opponent yet in Ripley. Battling several obstacles throughout the week, UC dropped a 47-6 decision Friday night.

“They did a great job, and they have many great players,” UC head coach Scott Duley said. “I watched them in week one against New Albany, and the improvement on their defense, I think, has been great.”
