The Union County Panthers(1-0) took on the Towns County Indians(1-0) in a non-conference match up last night in Hiwassee, Georgia. This rivalry series has been on halt the last 3 years, but was finally re-instated this year.

Junior Quarter back, Pierson Allison, did what he does on the next possession. He would lead the Panthers offense down the field and find Junior wide receiver, Kyle Morlock, for a 3o yard touchdown. The Panthers defense would come up big on the next possession. Senior,Ean Harkins, would pick off a Indian pass to set up a Panthers scoring drive topped of by Chad Buzzard leaping over a defender for a rushing touchdown.

The Panthers offense would keep it going with a reverse to Junior, Sawyer Drake, for a 22 yard touchdown. Union County’s defense was not done just yet. Senior, Ean Harkins, would pick off another pass and return this one for a Panthers touchdown. Before half, Brian Smith would kick a 27 yard field goal and Buzzard would score another rushing touchdown  to bring the score to 38-7 in favor of the Panthers at the break.

The second half would be pretty quite for both offenses until the fourth when Allison connected with Drake for a 37 yard screen for a touchdown. The game would end quick due to a running clock. The Panthers would win the game 45-7 and bring their record to 2-0. Union County will return home to take on the Fannin County Rebels at Mike Memorial Stadium next Friday. stats towns 2018
