Union earned a trip to Macon with a pair of wins last week, knocking off KIPP Atlanta at home on Wednesday, Feb. 26, followed by a semifinal victory vs. Tattnall County on Friday, Feb. 28, at Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus.
Wednesday’s 66-59 quarterfinal win over KIPP moved Union County into the Final Four for the first time since 1972. Two days later, the Panthers pulled away from No. 2 Tattnall County during a 54-38 victory, earning a spot in the finals for the first time since 1971.
Union enters the title game with a 26-5 record – the second most wins in program history behind the aforementioned 1971 squad that went 29-1.
Thursday will mark the first time since 2019 that a UCHS team (Men’s Soccer) reached the title game, losing to Thomasville in overtime.
