The Daniel Boone Blazers came into Shillington Friday night with a two game Berks 1 league winning streak. The Governor Mifflin Mustangs entered Friday night having won 27 straight Berks 1 league matchups. The Mifflin conference winning streak has been built on a consistant and dominant running attack . Friday’s game was no different. The Mustang’s running game was again unstoppable and Governor Mifflin crushed Daniel Boone 42-19.
Berks County’s leading rusher Wilson Fontanez again had a great night for the Mustangs. Following the Mifflin “road grading” offensive line, Fontanez racked up 194 yards rushing and four TD’s in less than three quarters of action. Mustang’s QB Jan Johnson had another stellar performance. Johnson ran for 138 yards on only seven carries. Johnson had TD runs of 43 and 26 yards.
The tone of the game was set on the first Daniel Boone offensive series. The Blazers took the opening kick off and with a 4th and 1 from their own 40 were stopped by the under rated Mifflin D. The Mustang offense then took over the game. Mifflin methodically drove the ball down for the opening score. Wilson Fontanez’s first TD of the night made it 7-0 Mifflin with 4:53 left in Qtr 1. The Mifflin D forced another three and out and the Mifflin offense had the ball again. Jan Johnson capped the drive with a great ball fake and blasted through the Blazers for a 43 yard TD. It was 13-0 Mifflin at the 2:41 mark of Qtr. 1 Boone showed no let up. They quickly moved down the field on their next possession. A Cinque Ramsey 22 yard TD for Daniel Boone got the score to 13-6 just into Qtr 2.
Following the kick off, Mifflin quickly went 64 yards in six plays and the lead extended to 21-6 with 9:43 till halftime. Mifflin’s defense bent but did not break on the next Blazer possession. Mifflin’s offense got the ball back and quickly drove the ball 75 yards for a TD. The Wilson Fontanez score made it 28 -6 and that’s how the first half ended. Each of Mifflin’s four first half possessions ended with a TD.
The 3rd quarter went back and forth until Fontanez scampered in from 33 yards to make it 35-6 Mifflin with 5:38 left in Qtr 3. QB Jan Johnson finished Mifflin’s next offensive possession with a 26 yard up the middle TD run. It was 42-6 Mifflin with 1:14 left in Qtr 3. The First team Blazer offense scored two fourth qtr TD’s on the Mifflin JV and the final was Governor Mifflin 42 Daniel Boone 19.
