HSFFan- are you kidding me? if Fairmont played Alter again we would handle them just as good if not better than we did the first time. Keep in mind that Fairmont isnt the only team that can get better as the season goes on. Yeah, fairmont has gottten better, but they arent good enough to beat Alter, and they wont be this season. Next year could be diffent though

Dear Jon Alter would still beat-up on Fairmont pretty handily as I’m sure they too have improved as the season has gone along. Fairmont is good but could not match Alter’s game.

im not being cocky and valley view isnt cocky its hard to be cocky when you went 3-7 and 5-5 the last 2 years. but i still think vv is the best team in the swbl and a top 4 team in div. btw brookville beat vv in 2000

If anyone thinks that Fairmont is the same team they were when they got whooped on by Alter, they are dead wrong. Alter is not underrated. Fairmont just got a whole lot better. I would almost bet that Fairmont would win against Alter if they played them again this season.

Brookville hasnt beaten VV In 17 years but they hadnt beat Oakwood EVER either. I do believe Brookville beat Oakwood 28-7 for the first time. I think some teams just get too cockey and think since they were good last year that their good this year.

Karl hit the nail on the head. Alter is at least 7th with 2 forfeits. Keep watching

Alter is 7-0, but had to forfeit 2 games due to unknowingly playing an ineligible player. This was not for recruiting which some on here have mistakenly or purposely stated. Alter dominated Fairmont. Fairmont beat Wayne. Alter is the most underrated program in the area.

Brookville is very underrated by the polls and we will see how they do the next three weeks against some tough teams (Bellbrook,Franklin,Valley View)and I beleive they run the table and stay unbeaten and make some noise in the playoffs.

UD Grad. Colerain loss was the FIRST GMC League Game Loss in 9 years NOT first at home. They got beat at Middletown..Still a great record to look back on. Elder won the GCL South Div and the ONN Grange Insurance boys say Elder is the team in Div 1 to beat this year.

UD grad… Bellbrook is D-II. Brookville will beat them and I will be at the game rooting them on. (Valley View grad) Brookville has little respect around the media polls, but their region is the toughest in the smaller divisions. Sad that even if they make the playoffs (they will) They’ll have a very tough time getting out of their region. Best of luck to them.

Alter forfeited due to one player being a fifth year senior not a recruit. Not the same. My point was that although the computer points due rank brookville FAIRLY above Alter because of Alter’s loses, Alter is ranked higher by this poll (of writers) based on the opinion that heads-up Alter is superior to those below it in the poll. Brookville is a solid team but maybe this poll does not believe them to be quite as good as the teams above them.

10-7 update not listed on DDN

Brookville 3rd Oakwood 4th Alter 5th D.IV behind Coldwater and Clinton Massie in West Central region

Kettering Fairmont still 3rd in D II

and Bellbrook is 10th (until Brookville wins on Friday night

Alter forfeited 2 games?? because of violations in recruiting players, yet Trotwood is forbidden to have their coach, and can’t go to playoffs for similar problems —- doesn’t seem fair

checking OHSAA recent polls have Brookville ahead of Alter even prior to last friday’s game, and Fairmont is 3rd in their region behind Colrain and Elder (both Cinci powerhouses, despite Colrain’s loss to (their first home loss in nearly 8 yrs)

Please note that Alter has not come close to losing (forfeit included). As a team they pose as much a dominant power as any undefeated* team.

By UD grad

Alter seems to remain high in their division despite 2 losses, while there are several teams below them that are not only undefeated 7-0 teams, but have often shut out opponents

Brookville is one such team, which beat previously undefeated Milton-Union, and if they defeat Bellbrook (div III) Friday they should be in the top 10 if not top 5 in div IV

Northmont OVERRATED. They always play five Div 2 or 3 teams, beat them for the Harbin Points, then get beaten BAD in the first round of the play offs, while a much better team that plays all Div 1 teams stay home. Underrated..Centerville and Wayne. I would love to see Northmont play a St Iggy or Lakewood StEd or Glenville every year. Oh Wait they did play St Iggy and got beat.. Also underrated is Kettering Fairmont.. They wont make it past the first rounds in Div 4 but underrated for this year
