Boys basketballUnion is in win-or-home mode. Should the Golden Knights get another strong defensive effort like the one they had in a 55-51 win over Keystone on the road, they will find themselves in the District 9 playoffs.“I hope we’re rested, because we spent a lot of time chasing (Adam) Lencer around,” Union coach Jeff Hepler said. “If we have the same effort and handle pressure we should be OK.”If Union (10-11) beats A-C Valley Tuesday, the Golden Knights would finish 11-11 and earn a playoff bid.Trevor Corle scored a game-high 17 points for Union, while Cole Morris (13 points) and Lane Cicciarelli (13) also finished in double figures.UNION 55Trevor Corle 5 1-2 17, Dylan Shirey 0 1-4 1, Cole Morris 4 3-4 13, Eric Seary 1 0-0 2, Wanya Harris 1 0-0 2, Lane Cicciarelli 6 1-2 13, Shane Murphy 1 0-2 2, Chet Carmichael 1 2-5 5.
