7 p.m.: The starting lineups were just announced for Alter’s offense and Centerville’s defense. Because the running game will be so important to both teams, let’s take a look at the sizes:

6 p.m.: Lines at each of the five gates to Centerville Stadium were each at least 200 deep when the gates opened at 5:30 p.m., and the student sections and visitors’ stands are already full.
This, without question, is a unique atmosphere.
It’s 90 minutes until the Centerville and Alter football teams will kick off their hugely anticipated matchup, not played since 1967 (Alter has won three straight in the series).
I got here at 4:15 p.m. and found tailgating, a live broadcast of Sportstalk 980 (980-AM) and several businesses and establishments setting up tents. By 5:30, all three local television stations had live trucks outside, Sportstalk 980 and Sports Scene (1410-AM) were both broadcasting live from the site and folks including Dayton CW, K99.1 FM, White-Allen, Voss Auto Network and Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken all set up in the grounds between the school and the stadium.
A full two hours beforehand, folding chairs had spots saved outside the gates with a view of the stadium.
