Roundup: SW Ohio-Playoffs, Rd 1 (Sat.)

Alter 52, Reading 17
Six different players found the end zone for Alter (10-1) as the Knights built a 31-10 halftime lead and never looked back in downing Reading (9-2). In typical Alter fashion they battered the Blue Devils with their rushing attack. They wore down Reading and it showed in the second half. The victory marked the ninth time in the last 10 years that the Knights have won at least 10 games. They are a combined 117-14 in the last decade. Alter now gets a chance to avenge its only loss of the season a 24-0 defeat to unbeaten league foe Bishop Fenwick.
