This game is for all the marbles in the district. Union County is 3-0 in the district and coming off a loss to Crittenden County. McLean County is 2-1 in the district coming off a loss to Hancock County. If Union County wins, they win district and McLean drops to second or third. If McLean wins, they win district and Union drops to second.

 

Union County comes in with speed and some size. McLean will have size also. The last meeting between these two was in the playoffs last year that ended in double over time victory for Union County. If McLean can put everything together, they could win district for the first time in over thirteen years.

 

The game will be played at McLean County.

 

Any predictions?

Would be a great win if Mclean County can beat Union County but is sounds like UC has had MC number for a while but you never know. Based on what I have read about these two schools I bet it will be a great game.

Will the injured players for McLean County be back this week?

One will. The other is week to week.

Union Co. 27-14.

Who will it favor if rain is a factor

If we get a good soaking on Friday, I think you would have to favor McLean. Union County tries to use its speed to get outside of teams. They will try to run it up the middle, but only as a change up. Their prefered running area is outside the tackles and throwing short, medium, and long range passes.

 

If we get light rain, I think it is a toss up. Whoever can handle the ball the best will win.

Weather for Friday is looking to be rainy and cold. It will be interesting to see if weather plays a part in the game.
