Unity Rockets sports for the week of February 12

Unity's Dalton O'Neill takes a third quarter shot over SJO's Tanner Jacob in last Friday's Illini Prairie Conference showdown. Down by 10 most of the third quarter, the Rockets rallied back pushing the game into overtime on a trey from Dane Eisenmenger. Falling short by a basket in OT, Unity fell 73-72 in one of the most exciting basketball games for both teams this season. Below is this week's sports calender.
