Against Alter, no one has been close
The Alter High School football team has been skilled and fortunate enough that no team has yet challenged it in the fourth quarter. In winning games by an average of more than 25 points, the Knights haven’t yet faced that late-game, must-win drive against a hyped-up opponent.
Some think that could happen on Friday against Chaminade Julienne.
If that happens, it will be interesting to see how Alter responds. Always one of the best-coached and mentally tough teams in the area, we’ve all been waiting to see how the Knights respond under pressure, if it comes.
“Of course, you prefer not to go into a possession late in the game with things in doubt,” Alter coach Ed Domsitz said. “If we’re mentally where we should be and execute, we should certainly be no worse off than being in a position to be in a ballgame.”
And don’t think, Domsitz said, that games have been softer because they haven’t been close late.
“Purcell and Bacon, they hit down to the end of the ballgame,” Domsitz said. “No one has let up on us.”

Eagles “O” is conservative and predictable. They run into the teeth of the defense twice, then have to throw on third and long. The third down throw is usually bubble screen BEHIND the line of scrimmage. CJ has more speed than I have seen in this area in a long time, but their coaching sure doesn’t use it. They have another Szabo (#3) who catches everything, but they throw to him once or twice a game. Alter by 21.
