I don't know about any other blown second half leads,but they couldn't handle the ball last night in the fourth quarter...They had that game sewed up...Union City showed alot of character coming back...

what a win to get the season started for uc. most teams would lay down after being down 15 going into the 4th. uc is a great team that showed a lot of heart in this game.
