POTTSVILLE — Chase Eisenhower ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns as Wyomissing won its 37th consecutive regular season game with a 41-7 non-league win over Pottsville Friday night.
The Spartans improved to 2-0. It was the last scheduled game between the long-time non-league rivals.
Drew Forrey had 99 total yards and two scores, including a beautifully thrown 59-yard touchdown pass from Logan Hyde as the Spartans opened up a 21-0 first-half lead.
The Wyomissing defense was stingy all night long as it held the Crimson Tide to 46 total yards in the first half and 189 yards for the game.
Pottsville had no answers for Wyomissing’s bruising rushing attack as 11 different players carried the ball for 330 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown run by Jeremiah Diaz in the third quarter.
The Crimson Tide’s main offensive production came from running back Parrish McFarland, who rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown.
Wyomissing travels to Trinity next Friday for its third consecutive road game before returning home to face Berks Catholic in the “Backyard Brawl.”
Pottsville fell to 0-2.
