Pierson Allison is the TeamFYNSports Player of the Week for the Panthers!

Allison, a senior guard, exploded on offense last week as Union Co. (3-5, 1-1 Region 8-AA) split the first two region games of the season.

Pierson is a competitor. He is willing to do whatever his team needs him to do to win,” Panthers head coach Corey Garrett said. “He is an elite scorer but is also a playmaker and distributor when he needs to be.”

It’s not just offense that defines Allison, he is also a great leader for Union Co., according to Garrett.

“Pierson is one of the best leaders that I have ever coaches. He is always keeping his teammates engaged and motivated,” Garrett said.

On Friday, Dec. 13, in Blairsville, Allison scored just four points heading into the fourth quarter but put on an offensive show in the final frame, scoring 19 points to will the Panthers to the 63-45 win. Allison finished the game with 23 points.

The next day, Saturday, Dec. 14, Allison put up 29 points but the Panthers couldn’t overcome a strong opposing offense as they lost at Monticello, 56-50.

For his effort, Allison is the TeamFYNSports Player of the Week for the Panthers!
