Both teams were undefeated. Both teams have winning traditions and one team has a high-flying offense. One team has a great defense. Which side of the ball would dominate the game? The answer was Wyomissing’s defense.
The Wyomissing Area Spartans defense shut down Pius X high-flying offense in a 48-7 win Saturday afternoon in Wyomissing as their offense and defense were clicking.
The Spartans’ defense contained Pius X and QB Tre Jordon right from the start. Jordon was hurried, hit and sacked all day long by the Wyomissing Defense.
The Spartans’ offense got started by a Tom Paolini 3-Yard TD with 6:35 left in first quarter. It was 7-0 into quarter two when Peter Guyer took a swing pass from Scott Kuczala 53 yards to the house, making it 13-0 Wyomissing Area.
It got late early for Pius when another Guyer TD reception made it 21-0 with 6:36 in the half.
Then the flood gates really opened. A TD run by Guyer and as the half ended another Paolini TD reception ended a half of domination with Wyomissing leading 35-0.
The Wyomissing defense held Pius X to only 136 yards in the half.
Wyomissing kept pouring it on. Following an interception on the first play of the 2nd half, Wyomissing drove the ball in for another TD.
It was 42-0 with 9:20 in the 3rd. The Spartans closed out Qtr 3 with what else, a TD run. They went into the 4th leading 48-0.
Pius put a TD up on the Spartans reserves and it mercifully ended 48-7.
Clearly Wyomissing Area has a solid team. Their remaining schedule is such that 10-0 is a real possibility.
Wyomissing is setting itself up for another deep run in the state playoffs.
