New era begins for Union County with Rob Stowe set as the new head coach. He boasts a pair of region titles at Wilcox County, posting a 50-24 record from 2019-24 with six playoff runs. That’s the level of success he wants to bring to the Panthers.
For seven years in a row, Union has made the postseason. But the one thing eluding the program is a region championship. Could that be on the horizon?
One interesting decision right off the bat for Stowe and his staff is at QB – rising senior Cade Dockrey never got to showcase what he could do last year, as he tore his ACL in the scrimmage game. That led to freshman Kamden Kendrick taking over and running with it. He had some growing pains but has truly emerged as a QB1. How will Union utilize Dockrey?
There are several guys back in the mix, including Bentley Rich, Chetley Cox, Tyler Parker, Brandyn Lynch, Micah Wallace, etc. This was a good young team hungry for that next step this time around.
