Bishop McDevitt

Despite 13 penalties by McDevitt they still cruised to a 41-16 victory over Harrisburg. Sloppy play by McDevitt led to an early lead by Harrisburg 7-0. McDevitt would score the next two touchdowns and lead 13-7. They would never look back and led 27-10 at halftime

Junior running back Jameel Poteat rushed for 132 yards and one touchdown. He also caught three passes for 53 yards and a score.

Quarterback Matt Johnson passed for 181 yards on 11 of 18 passes and two scores.

Next up for McDevitt is Cedar Cliff.

Wilson West Lawn

The game between Wilson and Governor Mifflin brought out a lot of hype. Like most big fights it was over early. Governor Mifflin didn’t get a chance to break a sweat. Junior quarterback Zach Zweizig passed for 175 yards in the first half and his team led 35-0 at halftime. He finished with 210 yards on 13 of 16 passing and four touchdowns.

The Bulldogs on offense didn’t punt the ball or turn the ball over. In the end the Bulldogs won easy 42-7.

Up next for Wilson West Lawn is Manheim Central.

Manheim Central

Joe Gruber rushed for 119 yards and three touchdowns.

The next two weeks will test Manheim Central. First up at home is Wilson West Lawn, then they go on the road to play Lancaster Catholic.
