McDonald led the way with 394 yards on 24 carries and scored all six of Alter’s touchdowns. He has now run for 239 yards or more in three of his last five games. The eye-popping performance raised McDonald’s season totals to 1,373 yards and 19 touchdowns rushing. The Knights will travel and face league rival Badin (8-0) in a Division III, Region 12 semi-finals affair on Friday night. The Rams beat Alter 14-12 in Week 2 of the season. It was the third straight win in the series for Badin.

Bellbrook 44, St. Mary’s Memorial 14 (postseason) – Ashton Ault ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns as Bellbrook (8-0) pummeled St. Mary’s Memorial (6-3).
