OF NOTE: According to the Ellwood City School District, and due to both Ellwood City and Union girls basketball teams having low numbers, both have agreed to play 6 minute quarters for Thursday evening’s JV game, scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m. After both JV teams clear the floor, there will be a 15 minute warm up for the varsity game. After warm up and pre game announcements, the varsity game will start no matter the time around 7:00 p.m.
