What a run the Union High football team had to reach the Class 4 state semifinals.
The Wildcats gave fans memories that will last years, at a time when everyone could use some happy thoughts. For me, it was particularly fun because of the opponents Union faced.
You see, Iâm the kind of person who, whenever I hear about a high school, I have to go to Wikipedia to see who its ânotable alumniâ are. Iâll even drive by a school in a major city and ask my wife to immediately look up who went there.
And the former students at the schools the Wildcats faced made up a whoâs who of well-known people from the St. Louis area.
