2007 Schedule

Pre-Season
The preseason for ALTER FOOTBALL
has been very successful in recent years.
In 2007, Alter faces 2 new opponents;
Versailles, a perennial D-V powerhouse
who replaces Trotwood
(let's not talk about Trotwood even though Alter has handled them quite well thankyouverymuch)
and Franklin Heights
who replaces Gallia, (2-year losers)
on the schedule.

8/11 @ Versailles (D-V)
6 goals to 0
Alter Dominates

The last time I took to the pressbox to video my
Alter Knights was up in Massillon at the
State Championship game, so this
was kind of an emotional game for me.
It was very cool to see that the boys
were VERY ready and did not let mystique
of the Tigers of Versailles,
true champions in their ownright,
intimidate them in this preseason scrimmage.


8/17 @ Franklin Heights (D-II)
41-24 Win
Alter on a win streak

The Franklin Heights scrimmage really prepared
the team to the fun, the obstacles and the other nuances that they will need to deal with in the upcoming season.

It was all there, minus the band...
the FANS and parents filling a chartered bus,
Jake and Joe doing play-by-play on
ohiosportsline.net
live-game conditions as 3 quarters were played,
timeouts, the 2-minute offense
big plays (good and bad),
and younger Knights showing their stuff.

Many positive things were seen...
an O line opening holes for a strong ground game,
an emerging passing game
and glimpses of a stout D.

It was a fine test for our Knights as we go into the Fairmont game next week.

The winning tradition continued with a 41-24 WIN!
