Union Grove got the local teams going first this week as they hosted the Ore City Rebels as part of the KYKX Game of the Week and came away with a dominating 45-14 victory for coach Kyle Adam’s club against his former school. Jace Roberts had another great night going 10-13 for 251 yards and a touchdown.
The Lions used all three of their backs on the night and they all found the endzone. Jace Wightman ( 5 carries for 14 yards and 2 touchdowns), Roberts ( 7 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown ) and Kohl Sirmans ( 9 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown ) all had great nights running the ball.
Through the air, Wightman had 2 catches for 38 yards and a touchdown, Judson George brought in 4 catches for 67 yards and Cooper Borden had 1 catch for 60 yards.
The Lions are now 5-2 on the season and 2-2 and will head into their bye week.
