A feisty cat fight will be fought as the Tigers take on the Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Union is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 52.1 points per game this season.
Last Friday, Union came up short against Pendleton County and fell 66-54.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Braylon Ward, who went 7-for-14 on his way to 21 points in addition to six assists and six boards. That was a full 38.9% of Union's points, marking the fourth time in a row Ward has posted more than a third of the team's points. Eric Linkswiler was another key player, going 6-for-9 to rack up 14 points and six rebounds.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hancock). Everything went their way against Bishop Walsh on Thursday as Hancock made off with a 78-52 win. The matchup was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Panthers had established a 25 point advantage.
Hancock's win came from a few key players Union will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Jacob Anderson, who had 25 points along with six boards and three steals. He continues to improve, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Hunter Kerns, who scored 18 points.
Hancock smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 18 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least ten offensive rebounds in three consecutive contests.
Union now has a losing record of 6-7. As for Hancock, their record now sits at 7-8.
Union didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Hancock when the teams last played back in January, but they still walked away with a 56-50 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Union since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
