Coming off a thrilling 21-14 win over Bloomington Central Catholic at Monticello High School for Homecoming, Monticello hits the road for perhaps their stiffest test since a loss at IVC in week 2 when the Sages make the trip down the Monticello Blacktop to take on the Unity Rockets in Illini Prairie Conference football action Friday night.
The Sages held off BCC on a the final play from scrimmage by knocking down a pass on fourth down, preserving the lead and the win. Coach Cully Welter was very happy for his kids after the game and felt they played a much improved BCC squad very tough.
Coach Welter anticipates Tolono Unity being back to their traditional ground and pound attack. He says it'll be another challenge for his young team.
Hear tonight's action at 7 pm on 95.9 FM WEZC and online at dewittdailynews.com.
