(at) Hudson 22, Union City 14 (Div. 7 District Final)
Union City’s football season, along with the coaching career of retiring head coach Eric Tundevold, came to an end Friday night at Hudson, as the defending Division 7 state champion Tigers beat the Chargers 22-14 in a Division 7 District Final game at Hudson’s Thompson Field. Hudson scored on its opening possession and had a 14-0 lead at halftime. The Chargers finally got on the board on its first possession of the second half, as Chris Maye took it to the house with a 79-yard run up the middle; the PAT kick failed. Hudson would tack on another score and a two-point conversion late in the 3rd to take a 22-6 lead. Union City’s final score came late in the 4th quarter on a 31-yard Chris Maye run; he also ran in the two-point conversion. Hudson received the ensuing kickoff and was able to run out the clock for their 25th consecutive win. The 11-0 Tigers will take on either Detroit Loyola or Royal Oak Shrine next week in the Regional Finals. For Union City, whose season ends at 10-1, Chris Maye had 12 carries for 168 and both scores; our McDonald’s Player of the Game also had 12 tackles on defense. Adam AcMoody was 7-for-14 passing for 128 yards, while Adam Reincke led the defense with 16 tackles.
