All our seniors scored and had nice games!” Coach Shawn Thompson stated following the game. “Bryce Drayer broke the union city single game record for 3s made with 8…the last being from way behind the line! Just an awesome game all around and a great way to end. Hopefully, this will be a springboard for the younger guys for next season!”
