Union rolls in road rout in Canton, Ohio.
CANTON, Ohio -- It took the Union High football team two days to get a victory in Ohio, but the extra day was well worth it.
In a game that started late Saturday and ended in the early hours Sunday morning, Union routed three-time Canton McKinley 31-0, a traditional power in Ohio.
Playing in the third annual Kirk Herbstreit Challenge, the Redskins scored 10 points off a pair of McKinley turnovers and another touchdown following a blocked punt in the shadows of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Unfortunately, it looks like McKinley's win last week against Detroit Pershing will be nullified.

I played for Coach Cross in a HS all star game, and I think the world of him. I highly doubt this was intentional.

Tough to replace: Coach Cross one thing, person another
SUNDAY SPECIAL
Sunday, December 23, 2007
BY Todd Porter
REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER
During a 26-year head coaching career, Brian Cross has seen many areas of the state. He has met many families and gotten to know thousands of kids. But the ones he is leaving at McKinley High School may have touched the head coach more than most.
Cross took the McKinley job with his eyes open. He knew it was a public high school in the city. He knew players would have family issues or, worse, no family whatsoever. He had no idea, though, how many.
?There were more kids who had issues than I was used to,? Cross said. ?Every school has kids with issues, but there were more of them, and you have to work with those kids individually.?
Cross will leave having received his share of criticism. He lost to Massillon three times in the last four games. In an ironic twist, that may not be enough to get Massillon coach Tom Stacy a contract extension. The Bulldogs are coming off a 3-7 season that included a one-game suspension for Cross because of an administrative oversight for which he took responsibility.
