Alter head coach Ed Domsitz joined elite company Friday night, earning the 400th victory of his legendary coaching career as the Knights rolled past Carroll, 50-7. Domsitz became just the third coach in Ohio high school football history to reach 400 wins and improved his career record to 400-185-1.The 76-year-old Domsitz is in his 51st season as a head coach, with stops at Trotwood and
Northmont surrounding his two tenures at Alter. He has spent 34 seasons overall with the Knights and has collected 325 of his victories at the school. Under Domsitz, Alter has reached six state championship games, won back-to-back state titles in 2008 and 2009 and captured 13 regional championships.
Friday’s milestone victory was never in much doubt. Miami University commit Drew Cripps scored a pair of early rushing touchdowns, while Renner Vongsy threw a touchdown pass to Chimdi Eze and added a rushing score. Noah Yuhasz and Hunter Roesser also found the end zone before Cripps capped the scoring with a 61-yard free-kick return touchdown following an Alter safety. The Knights held Carroll to minus-31 yards of offense in the first half.
Domsitz now sits one victory away from tying former Akron Coventry and Akron Manchester coach Jim France for second place on Ohio’s all-time wins list. Steubenville’s Reno Saccoccia owns the state record. For Domsitz, however, the milestone provided another opportunity to point back to the program he has helped build, calling Alter “a very special place” and saying he feels blessed to have been part of its tradition.
