Game of Week time/place up in air
Brookville’s football showdown against Dixie may not be played as scheduled. The two 4-0 teams featured in this week’s Dayton Daily News Game of the Week hope to play at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 19 in Brookville.
But Brookville AD Mike Lindsey said the stadium’s power was knocked out by the weekend wind storm. The high school has power but the elementary school does not.
“We’re just floating on the mercy of DP&L,” Lindsey said. “Hopefully, they’ll get to this area.”
Brookville likely won’t make a decision on the game time and place until at least Thursday. Other options may include playing at nearby stadiums such as Tri-County North, Northmont or Milton-Union or postponing the game until Saturday afternoon or evening.

Storm sacks OHSAA
Lack of power has kept the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s offices closed again today, Sept. 16. That has delayed the release of the first Harbin Ratings for high school football, used to determine playoff participants.
The computer points were to have been released at noon on the OHSAA website. The ratings will be released once the office re-opens. For those that just can’t wait, visit joeeitel.com for an accurate projection.

Alter coach meets with parents to explain ineligible player situation
Staff Reports
Fully expecting their record to eventually drop from 4-0 to 2-2, the Alter Knights were back on the football practice field on Monday, Sept. 15.
Coach Ed Domsitz planned to explain the situation about an ineligible player to players’ puzzled parents Monday night.
“I understand that they go through the same emotions as the kids did and as the coaches have,” Domsitz said. “My biggest hope is — and people say, well, it’s coachspeak — I need their help to help us put this thing back together again.”
Domsitz said that a senior player repeated his sophomore year after transferring to Alter. Ohio High School Athletic Association bylaws only allow eight semesters of athletic eligibility.
This was the player’s ninth high school semester even though it was his first time on the team.
The third-teamer saw spot duty in Alter’s 39-7 win over Fairmont and 49-14 victory over Bellbrook.
Alter faces Hamilton Badin at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Virgil Schwarm Stadium.
“I’m sure it’s going to be a bone of contention for them,” Badin coach Dave Wirth said. “I’m sure they want to take it out on whoever they play next.”
The OHSAA offices were closed Monday due to not having electricity after Sunday’s high winds. Assistant Commissioner Debbie Moore said the OHSAA will comment after it receives Alter’s letter about the situation.

Dunbar-Newark not over
The Aug. 29 game Dunbar led 21-3 at halftime against Newark will be finished … sometime.
OHSAA Assistant Commissioner Hank Zaborniak said Monday that Newark did not agree to end its home game when it was suspended due to weather.
The OHSAA has given the schools until Thursday to agree to a date and location or else the organization will do it for them.
For now, Dunbar is 4-0 and Newark is 1-3.

Soccer
Let’s do it. That’s the word from Beavercreek Athletic Director Ed Zink about today’s 7:30 p.m. boys showdown against visiting Centerville. “As long as we have power and the lights come on, we’ll be OK,” said Zink.
The Beavers (7-1-1) are the area’s top-ranked Division I team and No. 8 in the state. They also are coming off a 2-1 defeat to Columbus Prep. The Elks (8-0) are No. 2 in the state and beat Alter 1-0 last Saturday.
Like many area schools, Beavercreek was without power and closed Monday. “I don’t think we’ve ever had a calamity day this fast,” said Zink.
