TOLONO - Maddox Utley looks for running room in the Sages' road game at Unity. Monticello (4-1) faces the Illini Prairie's most-prolific scoring offense and stingy defense at home on Friday night when St. Joseph-Ogden (5-0) comes to town. The Spartans enter the game scoring a league-high 274 points, nearly 84 more than its nearest competitor. Below are predictions for all nine league teams.

| Game Notes: | SJO beats Monticello as long as the offense stays on track. It’s looked unstoppable lately. |
Monticello has to get the passing game going, while trying to hold down SJO pass game. Could be a shootout or could be SJO big. Sages undersized on OL/DL could be a problem in pass protection. |
For Monticello to beat SJO they will have to limit big plays, limit turnovers, and possibly create a turnover or two. |

| Game Notes: | SJO will win if the passing game continues to be great. |
1 - Monticello will need to control the tempo. 2 - SJO needs to stay energized till the final buzzer and not let the sages in at the end. |
If SJO can get up by two scores and the defense doesn't let up, they are 6-0. |
