WILLIAMSVILLE - Like two evenly matched heavyweight prizefighters, Unity and Williamsville slugged it out toe-to-toe for bragging rights in their Illini Prairie/Sangamo Challenge Shootout game on Saturday.
Coleton Langendorf scored nine points in the fourth quarter, propelling the Rockets (21-6), representing the IPC, past the Bullets, 55-52.

Langendorf led his team with 16 points and went 3-for-3 from the free-throw line. He was one of three players to finish with double-digits, joined by Brayden Henry and Brady Parr, who scored 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Unity trailed by one point at the end of the first quarter but took a 25-24 lead at halftime.
Carson Doran of the Bullets led all scorers with 23 points. He added nine points in the third quarter to tie the game at 40. The 6-foot-3 senior made all four of his free throws but fouled out in the fourth quarter. With Williamsville's star player sidelined, Unity meticulously outscored the hosts 15-12 in the final quarter to secure the victory.
Unity will return to the Rocket Center on Tuesday to host the Vikings from Danville for another non-conference challenge. Langendorf and the Rockets will face a formidable opponent as they aim to extend their 13-game winning streak to 14. The varsity game tips off at 7 p.m.
Unity has three regular-season contests remaining. Their biggest challenge comes on Friday when Matt Franks and the Rockets put their undefeated conference record on the line at
St. Joseph-Ogden against the Spartans, who are 5-1 in the IPC and 17-7 overall. After Friday's game, Unity will play their final home game against rival Monticello and finish the schedule with a road game at Oakwood.
