Union took a commanding 20-7 lead into the break, as Bentley Rich had a 1-yd TD run, and Kendrick threw a 62-yd TD to Haze Burnett. A pair of field goals padded the lead. LaFayette charged back in the second half, and took a safety in the final seconds to secure the win. Union drops to 1-6 overall.

WHITE COUNTY 34, PICKENS COUNTY 33

The Cardiac Warriors do it again! White County (6-1; 2-0) overcame another deficit, this time of 13 points at the half at Pickens. Early on, Brinn Robinson’s 9-yd TD to Zach Godfrey made it a 7-7 game in the first. The ensuing kickoff was taken back for a TD, and Savion Anderson tied the game with a 1-yd TD to start the second. Pickens pulled ahead 27-14 at the half. Jack Clark scored on a 4-yd run to close out the third and bring White County within 27-21. Down 33-21 with under eight minutes to go, Robinson found Clark for a 72-yd TD. Then came the big one…Robinson to Godfrey for a 99-yd TD for the 34-33 lead with 2:45 remaining. The defense made the final stop with 1:24 to go in the game.
