This Friday night, Bullitt Park in Big Stone Gap will host the Union vs Burton football game and will also host a celebration for the 1989 VHSL division 2 football champion Powell Valley Vikings. Last Friday during the Union vs North game, Riggs Stadium hosted a similar celebration for the 1989 VHSL division 1 football champion Appalachia Bulldogs. It's nice to see those teams appreciated by today's fans - and the early success of this season's Union Bears certainly honors that football heritage.
