Archbishop Alter hasn't had much luck against Badin recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The Knights will take on the Rams at 7:00 p.m. Archbishop Alter is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 28.7 points per game this season.

Archbishop Alter is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Bellbrook 35-7. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Knights' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 60th, while the Golden Eagles are ranked 212th).

Archbishop Alter's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Noah Jones led the charge by rushing for 62 yards and a pair of TDs.

Badin had taken Archbishop McNicholas down for three straight games at home, but that winning streak came to an end last Friday. The Rams took a 17-10 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Rockets. The matchup marked the Rams' lowest-scoring game so far this season.

Archbishop Alter is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 32.3 points over those games. Having lost for the first time this season, Badin fell to 9-1.

Archbishop Alter ended up a good deal behind Badin in their previous matchup back in October, losing 28-14. Can the Knights avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
