EFFINGHAM -
Dane Eisenmenger led the way offensively as Unity pulled away early and never looked back Monday at the Effingham Christmas Classic.
Eisenmenger scored 15 points to pace four Unity players in double figures in an 80-49 win over Central A&M. The victory marked the Rockets’ fifth straight and improved Unity’s record to 7-1 on the season.
Unity seized control from the opening tip, limiting Central A&M to just three field goals in the first quarter while building a 17-point lead. The defensive effort allowed the Rockets to dictate tempo and keep the Raiders out of rhythm for much of the night.
The margin widened in the second quarter as Unity showcased its depth. Eight different Rockets combined to score 28 points in the period, turning an early advantage into a commanding halftime lead and putting the game firmly in Unity’s control.
Carter Schmid and
Taylor Henry each finished with 12 points for the Rockets, providing consistent support throughout the lineup. Mason O’Neill added 11 points, and
Colton Langendorf chipped in 10 as Unity spread scoring responsibilities and kept fresh bodies on the floor.
Central A&M fell to 5-5 despite a team-high 19 points from Ace Spinner. Kadyn Higgins added 12 points for the Raiders, who were unable to close the gap after the opening quarter.
With the outcome largely decided by halftime, Unity remained steady in the second half, continuing to rotate players and manage the game on both ends of the floor. The Rockets cruised through the final two quarters, closing out another convincing win and carrying momentum forward in holiday tournament play.
