COEBURN — The Union Bears scored early, often and in a myriad of ways in Friday night’s 65-20 win over the Eastside Spartans. “These are games you enjoy because you get to play a lot of kids,” said Union head coach Travis Turner. “It was good to see our second- and third-string guys get out there and produce. It’s always good to get them some time because they work hard in practice.” The Bears had seven rushing touchdowns, a passing touchdown, a fumble return for a score and a field goal. They wasted no time finding their way to the end zone. Two plays and 49 seconds into the game, the Bears scored their first touchdown and then kept scor- ing.
