After a dominant 49-0 win over Kennard-Dale in week one, the Wyomissing Spartans traveled to face the 0-1 Pottsville Crimson Tide. Wyomissing picked up right where they left off last week to start this game.
After three quick plays to start the game, Pottsville was forced to punt. The Spartans’ offense quickly got to work driving down the field on six plays and 58 yards capped off by a Collin Niedrowski rushing touchdown. Ian Levering made the PAT to make it 7-0 early.
Pottsville was forced to punt again leaving the Spartans with the ball at the Crimson Tide 42-yard line to start their second drive. In the same exact fashion, Wyomissing drove down the field and Matthew Kramer took it in off a two-yard rushing touchdown. After the PAT from Levering, it was 14-0 midway through the first quarter.
Pottsville had a promising drive ahead of them that came to a halt after a fumble that was recovered by Drew Eisenhower to give the Spartans the ball back at midfield. Wyomissing capitalized off the turnover when Kramer ran his second touchdown of the night in from 23 yards out. Wyomissing was playing flawlessly on offense executing everything perfectly.
On Pottsville’s next drive the Spartans hauled in an interception by Eisenhower that got waved off by a roughing the passer penalty. However, in the next play, Wyomissing did gain possession after Pacen Ziegler recovered a fumble at their own 39-yard line. Drew Eisenhower had a monster 41-yard run to set up the Spartans in the red zone once again. Andrew Forrey finished the drive by breaking tackles to dive into the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown run. This put the Spartans up 28-0 still in the first half.
One of the only flaws that Wyomissing had on offense the whole night was a fumble that was recovered by Pottsville’s Tejay Allen. This gave Pottsville a chance to get on the board before halftime. However, another promising drive came to a halt when Allen’s pass was picked off by Wyomissing’s Derek Macrina. This gave Wyomissing the ball at the Pottsville 26 with a minute left in the first half. It turns out a minute was more than enough time for Wyomissing as Ben Zechman connected with Drew Eisenhower for a 47-yard touchdown pass. This put the Spartans ahead 35-0 going into halftime.
Wyomissing continued to spread the ball around in the second half as Zechman connected with Ryker Jones for a 47-yard touchdown reception to add to the lead making it 42-0. Wyomissing wasn’t done scoring as Jeremiah Diaz punched in a one-yard rushing touchdown capping off a 47-yard drive to make it 49-0 midway through the fourth quarter.
Wyomissing absolutely dominated Pottsville tonight winning 49-0 to improve to 2-0. Pottsville falls to 0-2 after a tough loss tonight. They look ahead to next Friday when they travel to Lehighton.
Matthew Kramer had another monster game with two touchdowns putting him at five total touchdowns through two weeks. He tweaked his ankle on the first play of the game but continued to stay in. After the game, he said, “Another good win. We had good energy and gave a good effort, but there’s still a lot of mistakes we need to clean up.”
Wyomissing hosts Trinity next week. They have now outscored their opponents 98-0 through two weeks. Both the defense and offense are in phenomenal shape. Ian Levering is also now a perfect 14/14 on PATs to start the season. This team is extremely fundamentally sound and shows a brotherhood between each other. Wyomissing represents perfectly what brotherhood, culture, and discipline can do to a team. This team is dangerous. Watch out Pennsylvania.
