2024 Berks football coverage
presented by UECU
It took a while for the Fleetwood Tigers to catch up with the competition after their 2001 debut but they have, ending two of the last three seasons lofting a championship trophy.
The Tigers didn’t earn their first win until their third season, opening with 31 straight losses.

The past decade has been much more successful.
The Tigers enjoyed their first winning season in 2013, won eight games and reached the district playoffs in 2019 and claimed their first trophy with an Eastern Conference championship in 2021. They won another last year, beating Shamokin for the 4A title.
Despite their lack of team success the Tigers have had some outstanding individual performances.
Tyler Emge rushed for 2,000 yards in 2014. Zach Koenig passed for over 2,300 yards the same year. Corey Unger passed for over 4,000 yards in his first three seasons before transferring out for his senior season.
Last year’s team featured a trio of record-setters: Quarterback Jack Riffle, tailback Czion Brickle, and wide receiver Mason Musitano.
