Union fell victim to Summit Academy’s zone defense in the second quarter of their nonsection showdown.

The Scotties (0-6) started strong, taking a 19-14 first-quarter lead. Yet, the Knights clamped down on defense in the second stanza and held Union to six points to snare a 30-25 halftime margin.

“We made some buckets in the first quarter, and then the game started to settle down a little bit, they went into their zone and got a little more aggressive,” Union coach Dave Smialowski said. “But I was pleased with our effort. We had a lull in the second quarter, but it was a tight game for the most part. The lead never got above 10. We’re starting to gel a little bit, so things are coming along.”

The Scotties’ Andre Jones tied for a team-high 15 points and also grabbed eight rebounds. Markel Peace also scored 15, and Tre Major added 12 points and eight rebounds.
