RIMERSBURG – Union did something it hadn’t done
since before its head coach was born in a 40-0 win over visiting A-C Valley Friday night that gave
first-year head coach Jeremy Lipps his first victory.
The last time the Golden Knights (1-6 overall, 1-6 KSAC)
won a conference game by 40 or more points was 1981 nearly five years before Lipps was born. Back then,
Ronald Reagan was in his first months as president, the Soviet Union was in full swing and the Golden
Knights toppled rival East Brady 52-6.
It had been nine years and two days since the Knights
had even put up 40 points going back to Oct. 8, 1999, when they beat Shannock Valley 54-38. They also
beat West Middlesex 54-12 in a non-conference game that season.
Colby Davis ran for two touchdowns, while Matt Gagliano
threw for a score and ran for a score for the Knights.
For A-C Valley, it was loss No. 29 in a row. The Falcons played without starting quarterback Michael Orrvick, but did get 168 yards rushing on just 11 carries from Luke Walker. Walker also caught one pass for 24 yards and was 0 of 5 passing with an interception.

while also throwing a touchdown pass that made it 41-0. D.J. Barney added a touchdown pass and a
touchdown run for Erie Strong Vincent.
The loss was Bradford’s worst since Olean (NY) beat
the Owls 66-4 in 1952. The last time Bradford lost by more than 62 points was in 1922 when Jamestown
beat the Owls 86-0. Bradford’s worst loss of all-time came in 1908 when DuBois smashed the Owls 88-0.
