Union County Panthers Edge Coahulla Creek Colts in Tight 3-1 Victory

BLAIRSVILLE, Ga. — The Union County Panthers secured a hard-fought 3-1 win over the Coahulla Creek Colts in a thrilling softball matchup at home on Tuesday, September 9. The victory marked a rebound for the Panthers after a road loss on Monday and was their closest win since August 11.
