Daniel Boone owns a six-game winning streak over Muhlenberg for the first time since the two began playing in 1959, the Blazers’ first season.

Muhlenberg leads the series 36-20-3, thanks in large part to a 19-game winning streak during the 1990’s and 2000’s when John Yocum was running the Muhls.

A year after Yocum departed, in 2009, the winning streak did, too. The Blazers have gone 11-2 since.

Yocum coached against the Blazers 20 times and lost only the first of them, in 1989. Among the highlights was a 41-34, double-overtime victory in 2003 and a 20-13 win in 2006 that ruined Boone’s 8-0 start.

The Blazers’ highlight in the series may have come in 2019 when Tanner Vanderslice set a Berks rushing record with 403 yards in a 42-19 victory.

Hamburg scored a program-record 75 points last week in a win over Warrior Run.

It was the sixth-highest point total ever recorded by a Berks team and the fourth-highest in the last 100 years.

The Berks records are 96 and 83 points, each by Reading High, in 1914 and 1913, respectively. That was a different era of high school football, for sure.

More “recently” the record is 77, by Exeter in a win last season over Muhlenberg. The only other teams to score more than the Hawks are Berks Catholic, in a 2017 win over Hamburg, and Kutztown, last season against Pequea Valley; each scored 76 points.

Pierce Mason had four of the Hawks’ 11 touchdowns last week, scoring on a kickoff return, a punt return and two runs from scrimmage.

Twin Valley snapped a 16-game losing streak against Conrad Weiser last season, pulling out a 37-34 victory in double-overtime.

There were nine ties and three lead changes, the last when Matt Puccino booted a 28-yard field goal in the second OT after the the Scouts fumbled the ball away on their second extra possession.

Trey Freeman had five catches for 112 yards for the Raiders, including a pair of TDs; freshman quarterback Evan Myers completed 11-of-19 passes without an interception.

The Raiders hadn’t won a game in the series since 2004; they’re just 3-23 against the Scouts.
