Things may look a bit different on the court for the Union Christian Lions and Lady Lions, but coach Bobby Joe Douglas believes that can be a good thing for the future of the program. The Lady Lions will have to rely more on their inside scoring and the play of Isabella Fulton and Kyra Hart, but that does not mean UCA won’t be able to shoot outside when they need to.

With the pandemic and political unrest festering across the world, it may be difficult to even think about finding fun things to do. Nasty stuff is going on that is causing us to focus on just keeping our heads above water and doing our best not to let negatives take over.

On October 12, Lillie Price shot a nice 10-point buck hunting with her dad Jason Price. Her Uncle Gary Cobb and his track dog Scout located the deer 12 hours later after Gary got off work. On Halloween, Gracie Price, Lillie’s twin sister, missed her deer that morning with her dad. Gracie decided to skip trick or treating and go back hunting in Marion. That evening the huge 10-point walked back out. Gracie finally got another shot on him. Uncle Gary and Scout were not at work this time. Scout lead them right to this heavy 205-pound buck. What are the chances of twin girls 10 years old, killing two 10 points and their Uncle Gary and Scout tracking both down for them. Both of these girls have a passion for hunting, just like their Grandad Scott Jones.
