ATGLEN — Wyomissing took one step closer to a perfect regular season and a Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 4 crown with a 56-7 win Friday over Octorara.
The Spartans’ patented run game was on full display as they rushed for 286 yards on 27 touches. They scored six times on seven first-half possessions; the only thing stopping Wyomissing from scoring on its seventh drive was halftime.
The Spartans (6-0, 9-0) led 28-0 after one quarter and 42-0 at the half.
“(The) last couple of weeks we had some slow starts,” Wyomissing coach Bob Wolfrum said. “We wanted to make sure we didn’t have that.”
The Spartans can win their first Section 4 title next week by closing the regular season with a win at home over state-ranked Lampeter-Strasburg (6-0, 8-1).
It was the usual suspects for Wyomissing on offense Friday.
Quarterback Ben Zechman was 6-for-6 with 100 passing yards and a touchdown.
The three-headed monster of Charlie McIntyre, William Delp and Drew Eisenhower led the ground game; Delp had a pair of first-half touchdowns.
The Spartans were able to establish a big lead and get their big guys out of the game.
Wyomissing’s defense was equally as dominant. The Spartans only allowed a total of 120 offensive yards. It also allowed an Octorara touchdown, but it was with all of their main guns out.
The Braves made a valiant effort against the Spartans’ well-oiled machine. They showed flashes on offense and were able to put seven points on the board against one of the best teams in the state.
Wolfrum was pleased with the start that his team had tonight, adding, “It was a good night to go into next week with.”
