Northmont DB Johnson won’t play Saturday
Northmont High School starting defensive back Xavior Johnson — a 6-foot, 186-pound junior — won’t play in Saturday’s Division I, Region 4 semifinal football game against Cincinnati Elder.
Northmont Athletics Director Robin Spiller said Thursday, Nov. 6 that disciplinary action had been taken by the school against a student, but would not elaborate nor confirm the name of the student.
Thunderbolts coach Lance Schneider spoke only about his football team, saying of Johnson: “He violated team rules, so he’s done.”

Alter beats Hartley, advances to state volleyball championship
Alter defeated Columbus Bishop Hartley in four games in Thursday’s Division II state volleyball tournament semifinals at the Nutter Center.
Ahead 2-1, Alter defeated Hartley 26-24 in Game 4 to advance to Saturday’s state final against Parma Padua Franciscan at 11 a.m.
Hartley won Game 2 and had game point, 24-20, in Game 4, but Alter rallied to close out the match. Knights sophomore Kelly Westerkamp rattled off a pair of points to spark the Alter comeback.
Alter defeated Hartley 25-20 in the third game. The Knights saw a 14-10 lead disappear as the Hawks went on a 7-2 run to lead 17-16 and force Alter to burn a timeout. But blocking came up big for the Knights: middle hitter Monica Lachey sparked the defense at the net.
Alter outside hitter Annalyse Schmitt sparked the offense with a pair of late kills. Hartley won the second game 25-21. The Hawks rallied in Game 2, taking an early lead and keeping it. That leveled the match at 1-all after two games in the best-of-5 match.
In the opener, Alter lit up the scoreboard first and never trailed. The Hawks burned their second timeout trailing 12-18 and quickly rattled off three straight points but could not close the gap.
The tournament began at noon today. Four Division I and II semifinals are today and four Division III and IV semifinals will be played on Friday. The winners return for Saturday’s state championship matches.
