Everything was clicking for the Badin offense as they beat Alter for the fifth time in their last six meetings. The Rams churned out 473 yards on 45 offensive plays and junior quarterback Alex Ritzie threw four first half touchdown passes as the visitors built a 28-7 halftime and never looked back. It was a resounding statement to the rest of GCL-Coed squads that the balance of power in the league is firmly planted in Hamilton.

Ritzie went 19-24 for 288 yards and a career high four touchdowns passing. He now has 1,379 yards passing with 16 touchdown tosses and no interceptions in his first year as a starter.

Badin senior Carter Russo carried the ball 13 times for a personal best 152 yards and a touchdown. Classmate Braedyn Moore had five receptions for a career high 118 yards receiving and a pair of scores. The University of Cincinnati commit has had at least three catches in 14 straight games.

Alter freshman Noah Jones recorded modest but first step career highs with 85 yards passing and 84 yards rushing. The future looks very promising for this young Knights star.

Since the beginning of 2020, Badin is a combined 29-2. In that span, the Rams have allowed just 8.5 points per game, held 25 foes to 14 points or less, with 15 of those teams having been held to seven points or fewer and eight shutouts.
