BULLDOG The 1986 Union College Football Team, 7-3 for the season, moved up the NAIA Division II top 20 for the second year in a row advancing from the 20th to the 18th slot. Although the honor was not enough to gualify the Bulldogs for post season play. Head Coach John Ross said that, It is guite an accom- plishment for our young players and it speaks well of the determination and intensity that they showed during the season. The Bulldogs also placed eight players on the District 32 All- District team: tight-end Pete Greene of Prestonsburg, Ky., wide receiver Albert Pellegrino of Columbus, Ga., offensive guard Tim Wilkerson of Owensboro, Ky., defensive lineman Burley Burkhart of Brodhead, Ky., defensive lineman Tommy Pace of Paducah, Ky., linebacker John Luttrell of Harlan, Ky., Oefensive back C.J. Westerman of Barbourville, Ky., and Matt Quick, punter of Ft. Myers, Florida. Quick also finished the season rated fourth in the nation in Division II play as punter. T.C. 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
