The Union Knights lost a heartbreaker in the last 38 seconds at Cascade 28-21. Cascade was ranked #1 in some polls and also undefeated in Class 2A District 4.

Union earned a wildcard spot for this upcoming Friday and will play Aplington-Parkersburg, who won their district.

This is the 10th consecutive year Union has made post season playoffs which is currently 2A’s longest streak.
