Alter 39, Fairmont 7
KETTERING — Alter scored 32 first-half points and rolled to a decisive 39-7 win over neighbor Fairmont Friday night, Aug. 22, at a packed Roush Stadium.
Unofficially, Alter’s Chris Borland ran for 126 yards and had 43 yards receiving to go with three touchdowns. Fairmont lost three first-half fumbles and had five overall turnovers.
Both sides are concerned about lingering injuries. One of Fairmont’s players may have a broken leg and two more were on crutches after the game. Alter’s Colin Boucher had a large icepack on his knee leaving the parking lot and will get that checked out soon.
Star of the game: Alter’s offensive line dominated, creating holes for Borland and time for Austin Boucher to connect for 100 yards passing.
Turning point: Leading 7-0, Alter’s Matt Enouen picked up a fumble and went 94 yards for a score. If there was any doubt, Borland recovered a fumble on Fairmont’s next play, which led to a TD and 19-0 lead.
What this means: Fairmont’s physical and mental health will be tested along with Alter’s decision to keep Colin Boucher in the game late, when he may have sustained an injury. The Knights, though, showed the program’s depth with a inexperienced defense that gave up some yards, but not many points.
Quotes: “Traditionally, Fairmont has shot themselves in the foot a little bit. They’re a great program, but you know, unfortunately, they haven’t experienced that much success.” — Borland.
“Borland, he’s a pretty amazing player. But we’ve got a lot of guys who made some big plays tonight.” — Domsitz.
On deck: Alter (1-0) plays Bellbrook (1-0); Fairmont (0-1) takes on Miamisburg (0-1). Bellbrook defeated Miamisburg on Friday night.
