UNION CITY, Ind. – The 2019 Union City Indians varsity football will have more depth at some key positions this season. This year’s roster is at 31 players – up about eight from last season.
Along with a bigger team, the return of former head coach Keith Maloy has the Indian-faithful excited about the direction of the program.
Coach Maloy knows there are several key ingredients to make this season a success, most importantly the aggressiveness of the players.
The Indians have a lot of young players, but have one of the biggest offensive and defensive lines that have been on the field for UC in years.
“We got a lot of big, aggressive linemen that will play a major part in giving our young quarterbacks more time in the pocket and putting pressure on opposing offenses,” Coach Maloy said. “Some players will be needed on both sides, but that is just small school football.”
Last season, the Indians found themselves within reach of winning nearly every game last season. Coach Maloy and his talented coaching staff hope to see this team get those hard-fought victories…and even content for a conference title.
“It is going to be an exciting year…and I am thankful to be back coaching these great group of young men,” concluded Maloy.
