Alter QB Pitzer healthy for semifinal
Alter football coach Ed Domsitz was facing practice while we were talking on Wednesday morning. When I asked about junior quarterback Zane Pitzer, who left the regional final victory last Saturday with what appeared to be an injury to his right leg, Domsitz turned his attention to the field.
“Zane!” Domsitz said. “He wants to know how you’re doing. Are you fit to play?”
Pitzer, in full pads and helmet, nodded.
“Jog a little bit and show him,” Domsitz said.
Pitzer looked confused, but he started to move down the grass field. Domsitz laughed.
“Look at that,” Domsitz said, “he’s healthy.”
Pitzer left the 32-7 victory against Clinton-Massie after a 2-yard run with 3:03 left in the second quarter. He started to walk off the field with help, but he had trouble and two teammates came onto the field to lift him up and carry him off.
In the fourth quarter, Pitzer was on the sidelines still in his pads and uniform, and Domsitz later said he could have entered to hand off if something happened to backup quarterback Cody Byers, the Knights’ strong safety.
Pitzer has been a key player for Alter through its run to the Saturday Division IV state semifinal against Coshocton. Domsitz has praised his ability to control the rushing offense and effectively guide its plays.
