Ponitz destroys Clark Montessori 48-6 in season opener

The message is very simple for the opponents of the Ponitz Panthers in the Southwest Ohio Public League. 

Last year was last year. This a new season. And they're ready.

Freeman runs wild on Clark Montessori

The Ponitz Panthers (1-0) came out the gate firing on all cylinders and was able to defeat the Clark Montessori Cougars 48-6 last night in the Season Opener@ Welcome Stadium.

From the very 1st possession it was clear who was the better team.
Last year Clark Montessori (0-1) almost beat the Panthers, losing by a point.

   Co-MVP of the game Jamil Freeman got the scoring going with a 41-yard run to go up 7-0.  He scored twice as he also had a dazzling 56 yard run  later in the game as well.
  Freeman had over 100+ and was dominant just about every time he touched the ball.

    After the first score, Clark was stopped on their first possession, in which Ponitz scored again on a 2-yard run by QB Xavier Henry, who had 2-TD runs and a TD pass as well.

After the 1st quarter it was 28-0 & the rout was on.

The defense was led by Co-MVP DL Damonte Purdue who had 4 sacks and was completely unstoppable on the interior.

    Panthers Coach Jim Place was very pleased with the way the game plan was executed, and was thrilled with the results. Next week they face the Dunbar Wolverines, which should be a battle.

Dunbar grad set to make Ohio State debut today

 
Former Dunbar All-State PG A.J. Harris will make his college debut today (Noon)  @ Ohio State as the Buckeyes host their season opener.

Harris ready to lead the Buckeyes

  Harris, who led the Dunbar Wolverines to two state appearances (winning one) will now set his sights on a NCAA Championship.
   With a plethora of new faces, Harris fits in nicely with the Buckeyes, who will use him as the floor general.
  Head Coach Thad Matta has been pleased with Harris leadership and ability to adapt and looks forward to using his cat-like quickness, intelligent play, and electrifying speed to change the pace.
   Matta also is looking for Harris to keep the game flowing in the right direction for the Buckeyes, who are loaded with talent.
  After watching what Harris did for Dunbar, you can't help what to wonder what he will do at O State.

   Harris is the first player to play for Ohio State since Daequan Cook, who played with Mike Conley and big Greg Oden.
