Also on Friday, the Union Knights cross country team is undertaking the annual HOCO Run from Dysart to La Porte City with the game ball. Proceeds from this year’s run are dedicated to supporting future leaders by way of the Union Class of 2025 Memorial Scholarship.

“This scholarship is in loving memory of the three young students in this class that passed away throughout their years of high school,” coaches stated in the run’s flyer. The scholarship was established in memory of the late Bradyn Frisbie (2007-2021), Kate Craft (2007-2023), and Gavin Rohrbach (2007-2024).
