WOODS ITI ON Dan Meadows Ronnie Vanover Drew Henderson and the band played on . . . Remember October 2, 1986? At about 8:30 p.m.? Union was a good place to be that night. Backwoods Expedition was back on campus. Even though some technical difficulties were present, the band was as good as ever. Possibly better! The group consists of six members: Ronnie Vanover, Carl Brown, Drew Henderson, Jerry Pennington, Dan Meadows and Jack Brooks. All of them, except Drew, live in McCreary County, Ky. Drew is from Flat Lick which is here in Knox County. The songs they perform range from those of the Eagles to Alabama to ZZ Top to the ever popular Hank Williams Jr. All six band members attended Union last year. Ronnie, Drew and Dan attend Union again this fall. All three are juniors and majoring in Music Education. However, if the group keeps improving as it has been. Union may lose the remaining three student members to professional music. Watch out Nashville!! (but, guys, don ' t forget your friends left here at Union!) 1g

Although the honor was not enough to gualify the Bulldogs for post season play.

McClish of Bradenburg, Ky., also ranked 10th in the nation in kick off returns for the Bulldogs. Ross said that, I hope this will mark the beginning of a winning tradition here at Union College, but we have to use caution here because the work, dedication, and intensity has only begun. We have to start nowln preparing for the intense competition that we will face next year as we start play in our own conference, The Bluegrass conference. Two outstanding victories were scratched out during the season. The first one occured when the Bulldogs pulled a mighty upset over Wilmington college, 9th ranked in the nation in the NAIA Division II play coming into the contest. The fiesty Bulldog team came away with the 25-20 victory. The final game of the season was against rival Cumberland College. The Bulldogs managed to slosh through the rain and mud to a 17-10 victory in Williamsburg. 20
