MONTICELLO - The Okaw Valley Black division title could be on the line Friday night when Unity visits Monticello.  Both teams are 5-1 overall and tied at the top of the division.

Monticello has been dominant on both sides of the ball; they're averaging a 30-point win every week.  Their next two games are against the only two teams with a shot at the title: Shelbyville in week 8 and the Rockets this Friday night.

As for Unity, they've started to hit their stride after a rough couple weeks.  This is basically a must-win game if they want to win the division.  They have developed a pretty intense rivalry with Monticello over the years, and that could continue with both teams applying to the SVC.  Friday's game should be one of their best with so much on the line.
