2007 Coldwater-Alter film a hard one to watch for Domsitz, especially one part
Until this week, Alter High School football coach Ed Domsitz had seen the film of Coldwater’s 59-52 triple-overtime win a few times.
“I had to watch it twice” after the game, Domsitz said of last season’s regional semifinal. “The first time for yardage and tackles and then in the Monday night film session with the parents.
“I don’t think I watched it again until after the holidays. At that point, you’re ready to go back and take a look and see at what was done, both what they did and what we did and try to analyze it a little bit to see what you may be able to change if it ever would come to pass again.”
It has come to pass. The rematch, this time for the Division IV, Region 16 championship, will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14 at Troy’s Memorial Stadium.
During the week of preparation, Domsitz had snippets of the game tape showed to his team. His eyes rolled and he shook his head as the film showed a screen pass that Coldwater ran well against Oakwood. “It took four guys to bring him down,” Domsitz said, his voice trailing off.
And while the Alter coach has seen the tape a bunch lately, there’s one part he doesn’t need to see: The ending.
“I normally stop it before the overtimes,” Domsitz said. “I don’t need to see that. I remember what happened in the overtimes.”
