RECAP OF ALTER GAME:
De’Wayne Penn out-wrestled a Dino Razzano pass out of the grasp of defender Bobby Getty with 7 seconds remaining and the Stallions took their first lead of the game against Kettering Alter.  Penn’s 17-yard game-winning reception capped a 93-yard, 10-play scoring drive for DeSales, who advanced to their 6th state championship game.  Trailing the entire game, facing a 4th-and-4 on their own 13 yard line with 59 seconds remaining, Razzano ran 29 yards for the first down.  Razzano then took to the air, completing three passes to the Alter 16 yard line, before finding Penn in the end-zone.

Do you still follow DeSales, if yes, how closely?
Try to make it back to as many games as possible
