They did it!!! Alter won its first football state championship by beating rival Steubenville 21-6. Alter lost to Steubenville 2 years ago in the state championship game by a score of 33-34. Revenge was sure sweet!!! Alter controlled the ball and defense really stepped up to keep Steubenville scoreless until the 4th quarter. 
Colleen and I were able to go to Dad's state final game. Denise had to work, but she was there in spirit and was able to watch part of the game on the internet, as many of you did as well.
This is Denise and I at a previous Alter football game. We were Alter's biggest fans!!! I absolutely love this picture.
Coach Cobey walking the sidelines.
Alter draws first blood and leads 7-0 after an 8-yard TD pass in the first quarter. The score remained 7-0 into half-time.
Alter stopped Steubenville's first drive in the second half and then scored on a QB 3-yd run into the endzone. Alter's up 14-0 with 4:40 left in the third quarter.

Alter Knights (white) in state championship game!
Cobey cheers on the Knights from the sideline.
Alter goes up 21-0 at the beginning of the 4th quarter with a 21-yard run from their running back, his second touchdown of the night.
The Steubenville fans are leaving the stadium in droves as Alter controlled the game on offense and defense. Steubenville scored with 9:42 left in the 4th quarter, but missed the extra point. They made the 4th quarter interesting with another drive, but the defense stepped up and stopped them once again.
The confetti flies at the end of the game for the State Champs Alter Knights!!!!!
Alter Knights receive their trophy.
A proud coach and his daughters. This is Dad's first state championship in his 41 years of coaching. 41 years - can you believe it?!! Way to go Dad.
Coach Cobey congratulated by Alter fans.

That game was awesome!! Not only did it give me something to do while I was working on Friday, but to watch those guys pull out a great win---it was just fun. (Doesn't make up for the BYU disaster, but that's a different story.) Good to see you're back in the blogger life, too.
