The dominant performance also gave Eisenmenger a new career-high in rushing touchdowns (two). A healthy portion of Eisenmenger's aerial production (240 yards to be exact) went to Tre Hoggard, who also brought in three receiving touchdowns.

Tolono Unity's record is now 8-1. As for Mt. Vernon, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-6.
