Unity High School head football coach and Athletic Director Scott Hamilton stands between St. Joseph-Ogden head basketball coach and son of the late SJO head football coach Dick Duval on the left and SJO superintendent Brian Brooks, on the right, for a photo prior to the start of last Friday's football game between the Rockets and the Spartans. Representatives for SJO presented Hamilton, who will retire from teaching and his position as athletic director after this academic year, with a memento thanking him for the legendary 30-year rivalry between the two downstate football programs. During Hamilton's tenure, the Unity football program has qualified 28 times and has played in five Class 3A state title games. Heading into tonight's home game against Illinois Valley Central, he owns an impressive career record of 283 wins and 71 losses.
