Half: Alter 14, Ross 14. Rams led 14-0, but Knights scores two TDs in second quarter to tie the score. The winner is headed to a D-III state semifinal game next week.
Could be the new unsettling norm for the high school football playoffs ... college football ... NFL ... and whoa to the team that looks away and ignites an outbreak.
Northmont AD Micah Harding praised the resiliency and attitude of the @NThunderbolts football players and coaches and said he's heartbroken for them all as an undefeated season ends with a forfeit because of a positive COVID-19 test.
Springfield 7-1 advances by “no contest” to D-I, Region 2 final in Week 10 vs. Olentangy Liberty Powell/Dublin Coffman winner. Cats’ only loss was 38-35 in OT at Northmont in Week 4 ... after leading 28-7 in 1st Q.

Northmont ends 8-0; other unbeaten Bolt teams, mostly in the 1970-80s with coach Ned Booher. Would have been a record third playoff game with a big asterisk for a COVID-impacted schedule scramble. Still, a Bolts dream season that will never have a wake-up call.
@NThunderbolts
Due to a positive test on the team, along with contact tracing and quarantine protocols tonight's playoff football game will not be played. Northmont will not advance in the state playoffs. We appreciate the support of Thunderbolt Nation during this amazing season. #GoBolts
Northmont 48, Marysville 41, final; Bolts 8-0 host Springfield 7-1 in Week 8 D-I, Region 2 semifinals; Monarchs end 6-2. Another cardiac finish; whew.
