LITITZ — Despite what he thought, Warwick’s Heath Schnipke had one good run left in him.
| Final | |
| Warwick | 20 |
| Weiser | 0 |
After carrying 27 times, Schnipke said he thought his Friday night was over as he watched his team run out the clock on what became a 20-0 Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 3 victory over defending section champion Conrad Weiser.
But Schnipke was sent back in the game for one more rush, a 36-yard TD that capped the win for Warwick (4-1, 7-1) and sealed the fourth straight loss for Conrad Weiser (1-4, 4-4).
Schnipke finished with 28 carries for 172 yards and a pair of second-half touchdowns as Warwick dominated the second half after a scoreless first 24 minutes.
The Warwick defense was dominant, limiting the Scouts to 82 yards and eight first downs. The Warriors defense had three sacks, three interceptions – including one returned 7 yards for a touchdown by Michael Pluta – and allowed only one play of more than 10 yards.
Conrad Weiser’s only scoring threat came in the second quarter when it reached the Warwick 13, where Bode Madara intercepted a pass to end the drive.

| Solanco | 4-0 | 7-1 | 361 | 120 |

| Con. Weiser | 1-4 | 4-4 | 148 | 184 |
| Fleetwood | 0-4 | 2-6 | 125 | 243 |
Conrad Weiser’s defense was strong in the first half as well, never allowing Warwick past the Scouts 35-yard line. But in the third quarter, the Warriors put together an eight-play, 60-yard drive that featured all runs by Schnipke. Schnipke scored from 8 yards out with 4:34 left in the quarter to break the scoreless deadlock.
The victory solidified the playoff hopes for the Warriors, who started the night No. 4 in the District 3 5A rankings.
