Alter signing day update: Good Knights!
KETTERING — Signing day just wrapped up at Alter High School without any surprises. Chris Borland (Wisconsin), Austin Boucher (Miami), Collin Boucher (Miami), Evan Neff (Ball State) and Max Plunkett (Kent State) all inked their national letters-of-intent in front of friends, family and fellow students today, Feb. 4.
Alter coach Ed Domsitz doesn’t remember a bigger class going D-I, and more could be coming. Danny Jasper has been invited to be a preferred walk-on at Ohio State, and Scott Anderson and Justin Hall are still deciding.
Signing day caps off a dream season for the Knights, who won the D-IV state title in December.
“I know what people out there say. They look at a D-IV team and say if you have five D-I players you darn well ought to win the state title,” Alter coach Ed Domsitz said. “You have the five, but it took all the rest of the kids. The non-D-I players and the kids who are just great high school players had a tremendous season for us.”

Isn’t it amazing how year in and year out so many athletes from Altar receive athletic scholarships as well as enjoy championship seasons. It’s called recruiting and it’s been going on since the 7o’s. Anyone who understand statistics knows that it is impossile for both to occur with the frequency that it happens without help. For the catholic schools winning isn’t everything its the only thing!By alterfan17

First and foremost, it’s spelled “Alter” not “Altar”. But more importantly… What makes you think that you know so much about Alter? From how your post reads, it sounds like you don’t, and you just base your opinions of statistics. I’m interested in seeing these statistics…hmm, wonder where they could be. Who comes up with the numbers, but even more to the point, how do they get them? Stats can lie. Numbers are of no value when it comes to the soul of high school sports. Hard work and dedication pays off. Recruiting has never been, and never will be used at Alter High School! Not sure if you have something against Alter or all Catholic high schools, but you need to stop it. Alter has a course called MORALITY…where students focus on the differences and consequences of right and wrong. Our athletes are getting scholarships because they try day in and day out. They get scholarships because they work together on the field. They are getting scholarships because they know what the meaning of team is. Not because of recruiting…PS high school recruiting and athletic scholarship numbers really have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with each other. Alter has a tradition like no one else. The tradition doesn’t just thrive in the halls, it is instilled in the hearts and minds of our students. Learn what high school sports are all about, learn what it means to be an Alter Knight before you claim that they can’t do the “impossible”By Chatmandew

Good for them. They have a system in place to send their athletes to the next level. BTW, Where did that 2-time all Ohio OT from Carroll (Cory Sorice) go to?
