Runaway Rocket

Blake Kimball runs for a touchdown

Unity quarterback Blake Kimball finds plenty of open turf as he sprints from 13-yards out for the north corner of the east end zone at Hicks Field. With just over two minutes left to play in the game, the score extended the Rockets' lead by 20 over the visiting Williamsburg Bullets and sealed their advancement for another 2021 playoff game. After the 28-7 win, the undefeated Rockets will host the 12-0 Mt. Carmel's Golden Aces in an unprecedented fourth consecutive home playoff contest next Saturday. Kimball, who finished with 85 yards on the ground, scored another touchdown earlier in the third quarter on similar play from the 15-yard line. More photos and game story coming soon.
