TOLONO - Unity sophomore Beckham Brink is tackled by Monticello's Eli Houston during first-half action of the regular season game on August 28. The Rockets fell 27-23 to the Sages in a Friday night thriller at Hicks Field and expect to deliver another thriller with undefeated St. Joseph-Ogden visiting tonight, looking for a fourth win. Meanwhile, Monticello faces St. Teresa on the road in a battle of two unbeaten central Illinois teams. Below are this week's predictions and updated leaderboard for the Friday Night Forecast.

Monticello- is my team, hint in my username |
SJO has not been tested yet this season. Unity will need to play mistake free football. |

| Game Notes | With home field advantage and two of its toughest league games under their belt, Unity has to deny SJO receiver Kaden Wedig any ball getting within two feet of his fingertips. |
Unity Defense will win the game |
I think the Unity defense exposes SJO. Through 3 games Unity has given up 54 points and they’ve played BCC and Monticello, SJO has given 46 points and the best team they’ve played is 1-2. So while I think SJO is good and they are going to be good playoff team, they haven’t been tested like Unity has. |
