SPORTS UPDATE: Union City High School football has filled its Sept. 11 open date with a home game against Fulton County.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
The Tornadoes had a void on their slate after South Fulton had asked out of a scheduled game to play a Region 7-1A contest against Greenfield on Sept. 11. That game – originally slated for this week – was postponed due to the effects of COVID-19 which has shut the Red Devil program down for 14 days.
SF and UC had originally scheduled to play after Lake County had canceled its season opener against the Purple and Gold due to a pair of players testing positive for the coronavirus.
The Union City contest will be the season opener for the Pilots after the state of Kentucky pushed back the beginning of its fall sports season to Sept. 11 due to the pandemic.
Fulton County was scheduled to play at Webster County in its first game but pulled out of that contest to play at War Memorial Stadium.
