Collaros well-known to Alter football fans
For Alter High School football fans, the heavy use of the name Zach Collaros in recent national football highlights might bring particular sting.
Collaros, a redshirt sophomore quarterback at the University of Cincinnati, made highlight reels for the second straight game on Saturday, Oct. 24, during his performance in the No. 5 Bearcats’ 41-10 win against Louisville. He completed 15-of-17 passes for 253 yards and three touchdowns and ran 11 times for 52 yards.
For Knights fans, the box score could have produced reminders of the 2006 Division III state championship football game. In it, Collaros, a Steubenville High School senior, completed 10-of-16 passes for 254 yards and three touchdowns and ran 26 times for 44 yards and two more scores in Steubenville’s 34-33 win.
In playing a part in each of Steubenville’s five touchdowns, Collaros turned his previous title game numbers on their head. The year before, in a 28-7 win against Columbus St. Francis DeSales for the title, Collaros ran for 159 yards and two touchdowns and passed for another score.

How about a mention of Fairmont’s junior varsity football team being 9 and 0, with their last game this Saturday against Centerville? These young men have played hard to obtain their current standing and deserve to have an article if they go undefeated. AND YES THEY BEAT ALTER, Northmont, and Wayne no slouch of teams? Thanks
