Page 6C TELEGRAPH, TIMES & MONITOR--C-SECTION Oct. 4, 2007 rUnion County hosts fifth- v o .ranked Celtis this Friday Union County fullback Justin Hanson (left), pictured during an earlier game, led the Tigers with 70 yards on five carries in a loss to Santa Fe. Tigers can't hold off Santa Fe rally, lose 34-27 BY TERESA STONE-IRWIN Times Staff Writer It was a good start for the Union County football team, with its defense recording the first points of the game, but the Tigers could not hold onto a lead, being outscored 20-6 in the second half of a 34-27 loss to Santa Fe on Sept. 28 in Alachua. The Tigers (1-4) built a 21-6 first-half lead and led by 13 after scoring first in the second half. Union's Vinson Wintons broke a scoreless tie. A Santa Fe handoff was fumbled and recovered by Wintons, who also fumbled the ball, but he scooped it back up to run it in for a touchdown. The PAT was good, putting the Tigers up 7-0 in the second quarter. Lonnie Gosha and Herschell Holmes made a tackle each for the Tigers during the Raiders' following possession, but it was not enough to stop the home team from gaining a first down. The Raiders successfully moved the ball downfield slowly before scoring a touchdown with 10:25 left in the half. Union retained a 7-6 lead when the PAT was blocked. Running back Todd Filer appeared to answer the Santa Fe score when, on a third-and- 6 play, he ran the ball into the end zone. The officials determined he had stepped out of bounds prior to reaching the end zone, though. On the next play, Union received a penalty for delay of game before quarterback Chris Alexander was sacked, forcing the Tigers into'second-and-20. A handoff to Sammy Simmons, though, would result in a touchdown after he was provided with excellent blocking downfield. The score was 14-6 with 7:54 left in the half. The Tigers struck again in the half, sparked by a couple of Justin Hanson runs. The fullback had a 9-yard run and another big gainer to the Santa Fe 18.

The two -District 4-2B opponents meet each other this Friday, Oct. 5, at 7:30 p.m. in Lake Butler. Whereas Union is looking to snap a two-game losing streak, the Celtics are aiming to win their fifth straight after opening the season with a 10-0 loss to Tampa Catholic. Trinity, last year's state runner-up and the state champion in 2005, has since defeated West Port 31-6, Willistdn 48-28, district opponent P.K. Yonge 30-7 and North Florida Christian 28-26. So far, this year's Celtics team appears to be a little different than the teams that made runs at the state title the last two seasons. Those teams rode the arm of quarterback John Brantley, who is now a freshman at the University of Florida. This year, senior running back Derrick Dempsey is leading the way. He averaged 166 yards in each of the team's four wins this season, scoring a total of 11 touchdowns in iihose games. His best outing 'came in the win over * ,Williston. He rushed for 235 yards and scored three touchdowns, one of which covered 45 yards. Against North Florida Christian, the second-ranked team in Class A, Dempsey scored on runs of 9, 17 and 31 yards.

Henry has just two touchdown passes this season and attempted only nine passes in last week's game. The offense has benefited from a defense that creates plenty of opportunities.

Yonge, John Lawroski recorded his third interception this season, which he returned 62oyards for a touchdown. Also, defensive lineman Tremanyne Scott returned a fumble 36 yards for a score. Scott, a Division I prospect, had 14 tackles in the loss to Tampa Catholic, then followed that up with a 10-tackle effort against West fort.

One of Trinity's scores came on a 12-yard touchdown run by Dempsey.
