Glasgow’s football season came to a stunning close Friday night with a, 10-7, home loss to Union County in the second round of the Class 3A playoffs.

The defense responded when Cam Bulle intercepted a Union County pass on its first drive. Glasgow’s next drive ended with a turnover on downs.
The Braves held the ball for more than eight minutes on their next drive, which ended with a made 30-yard field goal.
Less than two minutes before halftime, Glasgow’s starting quarterback, Hudson Gumm, was knocked out of the game with an injury.
The score of the game remained 3-0 until 7:59 left in the third quarter. Jaylen Bradley scored on a one-yard run to give the Scotties the lead. Levi Mann added the extra point kick and Glasgow led 7-3.
Union County controlled the ball for six minutes on the ensuing, but Glasgow forced a turnover on downs.
On the first play from scrimmage, the Scotties turned the ball over on an interception. The Braves turned that into a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. The extra point set the final score of 10-7.
The Scotties’ next drive ended with a punt. Then, after the defense made a stand, Glasgow’s next drive ended with a turnover on downs at the Braves’ 18-yard line.
Glasgow got one more chance with three-tenths of a second left in the game, but got off only one lateral before Union County made the game-ending tackle.
