Alter never gave the Cavaliers the ball back in driving 85 yards with Chris Borland running in from 2 yards out for a 31-21 lead with 1:01 left. The Cavaliers managed to drive to Alter’s 3 in the final minute, but couldn’t come up with a miracle this time. Alter heads to the Division IV state semifinals.

Coldwater may be running out of time. Alter has first and 10 at Coldwater’s 22 with 2:30 left with a 24-21 lead. The Cavaliers only have one timeout left.

Alter has gained three first downs while trying to keep the ball away from Coldwater. On fourth and an inch, Alter’s Austin Boucher ran option left to move the chains. With 4:41 left, Alter has first and 10 at its 46 with a 24-21 lead.

Coldwater’s latest drive stalled out in part to an illegal blocking penalty. The Cavaliers punted to Alter’s 15. The Knights lead 24-21 with 8:31 left.

Alter’s Matt Pirello made the play of the game (so far). He stole away a pass intended for Adam Rammel and returned it to Coldwater’s 7-yard line. Austin Boucher ran in for his second score of the quarter and Cody Taulbee added the two-point conversion for a 24-21 Knights lead after three quarters.

After each team punted, Alter put together a good drive on catches and runs by Chris Borland. Austin Boucher’s 1-yard dive made it 21-16 with 1:48 left in the third, but Danny Jasper missed the extra point wide left.

The third quarter has begun. Alter’s opening drive ended when Connor Cummins came up a yard short on a third-down pass. After a Coldwater timeout, Alter downed Chris Borland’s punt at Coldwater’s 8.

With 8:23 left in the third, Coldwater leads 21-10.

TROY — Coldwater scored 14 points off of turnovers while Alter hurt itself on special teams and with miscues. That combination has led to the Cavaliers taking a 21-10 lead at halftime.

Coldwater scored after picking off Alter’s Austin Boucher when Tony Harlamert dove in from two yards out. Already ahead 14-7, Coldwater’s Trent Muhlenkamp picked up a loose ball after the officials ruled Danny Jasper fumbled during his punt return.

The Knights had a long pass called back by a rare offensive facemask penalty. Coldwater has made use of good field position. Just before halftime, Alter forced a Coldwater punt and got a field goal to pull within 21-10.

-Coldwater takes a 21-7 lead after a somewhat controversial play. Knights punt returner Danny Jasper was ruled to have fumbled and Tony Muhlenkamp picked up the ball at about the 7 and headed to the end zone. Jasper argued he was down. There’s 2:37 left before halftime. It’s Coldwater’s ball first and 10 at the Cavaliers’ 8.

-An offensive facemask penalty erased a long pass from Boucher to Danny Jasper. Instead, Alter punts and Tony Harlamert retursn the ball to the 50. With 6:44 left before halftime, Coldwater leads 14-7.

-Coldwater takes the lead back on 17-yard TD pass from Cory Klenke to Zach Kaup. With 10:12 left before halftime, it’s 14-7 Coldwater.

-After one quarter, it’s 7-7. Coldwater faces a second-and-2 at Alter’s 30 when the second quarter starts.

-Coldwater has the ball at the 50-yard line after Alter’s Chris Borland had to chase down a high snap back to his 25-yard line. His punt went out of bounds at midfield. Still 7-7.

-Alter takes over at Coldwater’s 49 after the Cavaliers punted on a three-and-out situation.

-Alter responded to Coldwater’s score with a 6-play, 70-yard drive capped by Chris Borland’s 7-yard TD run. With 3:42 left in the first, it’s 7-7.

-Alter quarterback Austin Boucher had his third-down pass intercepted by Cory Klenke, who returned it to the Alter 3. Two plays later, Tony Harlamert dove in for a 7-0 lead with 6:09 left in the first quarter.

-Coldwater took the opening drive from its 20 to Alter’s 25. Alter had near interceptions on back-to-back plays that were ruled out of the field of play. After a couple of penalties, the Cavaliers punted and downed the ball on Alter’s 1.
