UL Wants to Get Back On Track Vs. Tough St. C.

MORRISTOWN — St. Clairsville and Union Local are coming into Friday’s meeting in Morristown riding different waves of emotion. The Red Devils (5-2) have won two straight since falling to Linsly, while the Jets (5-1) are coming off their first on-field loss of the season last week when they fell to Cambridge, 35-32.
