HARRISBURG — Two perennial District 3 powers came into George “Speed” Ebersole Stadium at Landis Field in Harrisburg Friday night searching for their first win.
The Lancaster-Lebanon League’s Wilson Bulldogs (1-1) struck first and pulled away in the second half to get the coveted 17-10 non-league win over Central Dauphin.
Wilson wideout Edison Case caught a 26-yard touchdown from Tommy Hunsicker on a deep crossing route with 4:59 left in the first quarter to make it 7-0.
David Chase III responded for Central Dauphin with a 1-yard touchdown run to tie it with 9:01 left in the second quarter.
In the third, Ben Rada knocked in a 21-yard field goal with 8:19 left and Cam Jones dashed for a 53-yard rushing touchdown with 3:47 left.
Jones finished with 122 rushing yards on the night as starter Cleveland Harding was inactive with an ankle injury.
Brayden Snyder’s 32-yard field goal for the Rams with 2:05 left made it 17-10.
The Bulldogs draw within one game of evening the all-time series (6-7) with the Rams.
The Mid-Penn Commonwealth Rams (0-2) will try to pick up their first win next week at Coatesville.
