It’s time to help Pontiac Football out.
It has been a rough ride for the Phoenix and Athletic Director Lee Montgomery and Coach Charles White.
Pontiac has had to go through numerous coaching changes. Uncertainties regarding their program. State intervention, you name it.
The Phoenix are 5-72 since 2011. 2011 was the last time they made the playoffs. They are 3-20 combined against Avondale, Berkley, and Ferndale. If you include Royal Oak its 5-25.
Pontiac did make the playoffs this season as part of the pandemic postseason. They were in Division Three and played Bay City Central where they were blown out 64-0.
Should the league allow the Phoenix to go out of league and find more open dates???
It would help them with their confidence and develop their program.
Pontiac has had a ton of problems with a lot of things out of their control. Playing in the OAA has some advantages but every week they are playing a tough opponent and are getting blown out in each game.
That impacts player confidence.
I know it takes time to develop a program but if the league can help the Phoenix out by giving them open dates so they can find winnable games, it would go a long way to building their program back up so they can be at a better position where they can compete in the OAA.
This is not a knock on their players, staff, athletic department, and program. They are working really hard and getting better each day.
Help from the league would go a long way to help them move forward.
