GAME 4 - PIKEVILLE<br />
Sept. 22, 2007<br />
UNION 12<br />
PIKEVILLE 34<br />
PIKEVILLE, Ky. - Senior Joey Waters reached a couple more<br />
milestones, and sophomore Terence Pollock recorded over 100<br />
yards rushing, but it wasn’t enough as host Pikeville (Ky.) <strong>College</strong><br />
handed <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> a 34-12 Mid-South Conference East defeat<br />
Saturday.<br />
The loss extended the <strong>Bulldogs</strong>’ losing skid to 10 games as they<br />
are now 0-4 overall and 0-2 in MSC East play, while the Bears<br />
improved to 2-2 overall and 1-0 in league play.<br />
Waters (McDonough, Ga.) completed 23-of-43 passes for 260<br />
yards and two touchdowns, making him the fi rst player in program<br />
history with 50 career scoring tosses. Also, he moved into second<br />
place on the all-time passing list with 5,729 career passing yards,<br />
overtaking Stanley Niece who amassed 5,524 passing yards. Waters<br />
needs 787 more yards to become the all-time leading passer.<br />
Lee Worley sits atop the list with 6,515 passing yards.<br />
Pollock (Orange Park, Fla.) had his best day rushing the ball this<br />
season as he galloped for 127 yards on 23 carries.<br />
However, it wasn’t enough as Pikeville’s defense bent but didn’t<br />
break in posting the 22-point decision.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> amassed more fi rst downs than Pikeville with a 24-19 edge.<br />
And the Bears only outgained the <strong>Bulldogs</strong> 383-372 in total offense.<br />
Still, <strong>Union</strong> was unable to put points on the board in large part due<br />
to turnovers.<br />
The <strong>Bulldogs</strong> fumbled the ball away three times and had two<br />
passes intercepted. Add to that the fact <strong>Union</strong> turned the ball over<br />
on downs twice, it resulted in a rough night offensively.<br />
<strong>Union</strong> scored fi rst when Waters hit Kyle Callahan (Covington, Ky.)<br />
on a 10-yard scoring play. The PAT was blocked, leaving it 6-0 with<br />
7:46 to go in the fi rst.<br />
Pikeville’s begin clicking in the second as it posted two scores to<br />
take a 14-6 lead into the half. Dan Wideman hit Demarc Anderson<br />
for two 16-yard scoring passes - the second one coming with<br />
14 seconds to play in the second, to lift the Bears to the 14-6<br />
advantage.<br />
After a scoreless third quarter, Wideman found De’Von Joseph<br />
for a 22-yard strike to make it 21-6 with 9:53 to play. De’Rail Sims<br />
scored on a 1-yard plunge to extend the Bears’ lead to 28-6 at the<br />
6:32 mark.<br />
The <strong>Bulldogs</strong> continued to show some fi ght as they covered 60<br />
yards in four plays for their next score. Waters hit Rolondo Dyer<br />
(Lawrenceburg, Ga.) for a 40-yard scoring play to pull <strong>Union</strong> within<br />
28-12 with 5:42 remaining. Once again, the PAT was blocked.<br />
Pikeville sealed the victory when Brando Richards returned an<br />
interception 48 yards for a touchdown with 52 seconds to play. The<br />
two-point conversion was no good, making the fi nal 34-12.<br />
Shawn Kelly (Owenton, Ky.) hauled in eight catches for 79 yards,<br />
while Callahan pulled in six for 53 yards and a score.<br />
For Pikeville, Wideman completed 15-of-29 passes for 140 yards<br />
and three scores while rushing for 146 yards on 20 carries.<br />
