Garden Spot’s Walker Martin tied a PIAA record by kicking five field goals in a game last season, the last of them in overtime in a 27-24 season-opening loss at Twin Valley.

The Raiders won it on Dominic Caruso’s third-down, 5-yard TD run, after the last of Martin’s field goals had given the Spartans a 24-21 lead.

The win was the first in the series for the Raiders, who had lost the first eight, all in season-openers between 2006-2015.

Friday’s Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 3 meeting at Garden Spot will be the first between the two programs in league play, and the first that’s not a season-opener.

Martin made kicks of 35, 47, 32, 46 and 33 yards to tie the record of Bob Milspaw, who kicked for Peters Township in in 1994.

Walker missed two field goals against the Raiders, from 35 and 43 yards, the latter with seven minutes left and the score tied 21-21.

Gov. Mifflin and Conestoga Valley meet Friday for the first time since the Mustangs’ 35-20 victory in a 2006 District 3 Class AAAA quarterfinal.

The Mustangs and Buckskins were Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 2 rivals briefly in 1994 and 1995 when Mifflin dropped from Section 1 for a two-year cycle.

The teams split those Section 2 meetings.

Matt Bauer can become the 12th coach in Berks football history and the second at Exeter to record 100 wins if the Eagles beat Muhlenberg Friday.

Bauer, in his 14th season, has a 99-52 record.

Only Don Thomas, who coached 24 seasons, has more wins at Exeter. Thomas retired following the 1982 season with a 123-99-6 record.

4

Reading High and McCaskey meet for the 100th time Friday in a series that debuted before Utah, Oklahoma, New Mexico or Arizona were states.

The Red Knights and Red Tornado first met in 1892.

In the 130 years since Reading has gone 48-46-5 against Lancaster.

The programs were previously Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 1 rivals from 1987 through 2009.

Exeter, which hosts Muhlenberg Friday night, has beaten the Muhls eight straight years and 11 times in the last 12 meetings.

The Eagles are 11-2 since former Muhls tight end Matt Bauer became their head coach in 2009.

The teams will be meeting for the 42nd straight year and for the first time in a Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 2 game.
