Here's a look at area teams playing second-round IHSA football games this week
Unity quarterback Dane Eisenmenger looks for an open receiver during his team home game against St. Joseph-Ogden. The sophomore signal caller aired out the pigskin completing 15 of his 26 passing attempts for 197 yards and scored twice on three and 20-yards strikes. Eisenmenger and the Rockets will host undefeated DuQuoin (10-0) on Saturday at 2pm. The last time the two programs squared off was in a second-round game in the fall of 2009. Unity, then 10-0, defeated the 9-1 Indians, 47-7.
