Ponitz Tech, the new team in town, has some game
Some questions immediately arise when discussing the David H. Ponitz Career Technology Center.
Is it a converted Dayton Public Schools facility? No, it’s a brand new school, not a renamed one.
Yes, it has a football team as part of the Dayton city league. And yes, it lost its first-ever football game 80-14 to Piqua.
But Ponitz rallied on Saturday, Sept. 5, to prove it certainly has some offensive firepower in a 52-47 loss to Jefferson at Welcome Stadium. Folks attending that night’s Trotwood-Madison vs. Dunbar game, also at Welcome Stadium, were still buzzing about the excitement hours later.
“If you were a football fan, you were treated to a great football game,” Ponitz’ coach, John Wortham, said Tuesday afternoon. “And if you like offense, you were probably more excited.”
In all, there were 1,041 yards of offense, and Ponitz even had a shot at the end zone as time expired, but a drop pass ended it.
Ponitz’ offensive star was quarterback Craig Wallace, who completed 14-of-26 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns while also serving as the punter and kicker.
“Guys were making some incredible plays, on both sides,” Wortham said. “When you watch the tape as a coach, you look at some mistakes your team made. But about the fifth time I watched it, I really appreciated what kind of game it was.”

Since its a brand new school that most folks are not aware of, it would be nice if the article mentioned its location.
