Sports : Union players earn All-District, academic honors

Union Head Football Coach Joe Hadachek said it's great news that 12 players have been chosen to the first or second All-District team, but even better news that nine members of the football team have earned All-Academic status.

" That is largest number of Union football players recognized in the last five years for academic success," said Hadachek, who leads the Knights into their quarterfinal Class 3A playoff game tonight. The Knights host Maquoketa a 7 p.m. The Cardinals defeated Union, 35-15 during their regular season game.
