Cove Hosts Union in Early-Season Non-League Showdown

The high school football season is still in its early stages, but both Union and Cove enter Week 2 unbeaten and looking to keep momentum rolling when they clash on Friday, September 5, at 7 p.m. in Cove.

Hot Starts for Both Programs

Union (1-0, 1-0 league) opened its 2025 campaign on the road with a strong 36-20 victory over Imbler. The Bobcats showed balance on both sides of the ball, posting a 16-point win while holding their opponent to just two touchdowns after halftime. With that win, Union also gained an early edge in league play.

Cove (1-0) comes into its home opener fresh off a 40-18 road win, delivering an impressive offensive showing in Week 1. The Leopards averaged 10 points per quarter in their opener and matched Union’s early-season undefeated record.

Statistical Snapshot

• Union scoring average: 36.0 points per game

• Cove scoring average: 40.0 points per game

• Union points allowed: 20

• Cove points allowed: 18

Both teams have been productive offensively, with Cove holding a slight scoring edge, while their defenses have been nearly identical in efficiency.

Common Opponents on the Horizon

Union already has a victory over Imbler, while Cove will see the Panthers later in the season on October 17. Both schools also share matchups against Elgin and Adrian, which should provide more opportunities to measure up as the season progresses.

What’s at Stake

Though this contest is a non-league matchup, it carries weight for momentum and confidence. Union aims to prove its opening win was no fluke and continue building on its league success. Cove, meanwhile, will look to protect its home field in the first game of the season at Leopard Stadium and remain perfect before diving deeper into its schedule.
