Wyomissing scored 42 points in an eight-minute span of the second and third quarters on its way to a 49-10 Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 4 victory over Conrad Weiser Friday night at Robesonia.

The Spartans (5-0, 8-0) started slow and trailed the Scouts (2-3, 3-5) in the second quarter 3-0.

Matt Noll’s 26-yard field goal put Wyomissing in a rare position — trailing.  It was just the second time this season that Wyomissing trailed at any point in a game.

The Spartans quickly put together a six-play drive featuring Matt Kramer. The senior fullback finished off the series with a 16-yard touchdown run. Next, it was Charlie McIntyre’s turn. He scored on a 25-yard touchdown run. He also scored on the next drive on a 5-yard touchdown run.

It appeared it would be a 18-point halftime margin but the Scouts fumbled with 13.7 seconds left. Wyomissing quarterback Ben Zechman, who threw only two passes, needed just one play. He launched a missile strike to Ethan Brower for a 37-yard TD and PennLive.com’s No.1 Class 3A team in the state led 28-3 at halftime. 

Drew Eisenhower quickly put this game into mercy rule territory in the second half. He powered through a few Scouts and then used his speed and angle to race for a 61-yard touchdown. The next play he intercepted Donovan Gingrich at midfield and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown and a 42-3 lead.

The Spartans only ran five offensive plays in the second half. Conrad Weiser was held to 176 yards on 54 plays.
