Alter-CJ matchup growing with Eagles’ jump in polls
By beating Purcell Marian 25-3 on Friday, Oct. 16, Chaminade Julienne jumped three spots in the Associated Press state Division III poll, from No. 9 to No. 6.
The improved state ranking, as well as the Eagles’ 7-1 record, makes their season-ending matchup with state power Alter (8-0) in Week 10 more interesting by the day.
Alter, of course, is unbeaten, ranked No. 1 in the state in Division IV and everyone’s favorite to repeat as the D-IV state champion.
Both have one game remaining before the matchup, and by record, it shouldn’t be much of a challenge. On Friday, CJ hosts Roger Bacon (1-7) at West Carrollton Junior High School, and Alter hosts Purcell Marian (1-7) at Fairmont.
Both should also remain on top of their region’s computer points rankings — CJ in D-III, Region 12, and Alter in D-IV, Region 16 — so a loss wouldn’t hold one out of the playoffs. The game would be for a conference championship and bragging rights.
Area teams in state Top 10
DIVISION II: No. 8 (tie) Tecumseh
DIVISION III: No. 6 Chaminade Julienne
DIVISION IV: No. 1 Alter, No. 6 Clinton-Massie
DIVISION V: No. 2 Coldwater, No. 5 Anna, No. 9 West Liberty-Salem

Keep going up in the polls C-J. Then the fall will hurt even more when Alter exposes your one-dimension offense, slow defense and quick-to-panic coaching staff as frauds.

You say that this matchup continues to grow, but we all know how this game is going to turn out. Alter will destroy CJ and then we will all just be re-assured of something we already know: Nobody can compete with Alter.
