Amory Thompson-Wyomissing

Zero, zilch, nada. That’s how many passing yards the (13-0) Spartans have allowed in their last two games. Middletown and Boiling Springs were a combined 0-for-13 throwing the football. Wyomissing has a talented and experienced secondary. Cornerbacks Amory Thompson and Nevin Carter are three-year starters. Thompson also starts at halfback and returns kicks. He had a TD run and a TD catch in a 55-14 victory over second-seeded Boiling Springs in the District 3-3A championship. Thompson ran for 65 yards on nine carries. His two receptions went for 24 yards. Thompson’s 7-yard TD grab with 47 seconds left in the second quarter put the Spartans up 28-7. He said junior QB Ben Zechman bounced back well after tossing an interception on the opening drive. Zechman was 4-6 for 90 yards and 2TD. Thompson pointed out the great job that senior linebacker Jack Miller did on defense. Thompson told me that Miller was calling out the Bubblers’ plays before the ball was snapped. Thompson gave credit to the coaching staff for preparing the players each week. Here’s a scary thought; Thompson admitted that the Spartans didn’t have a good week at practice, yet they won a District 3 title by 41 points! Wyomissing has brought home ten District championships overall and three straight. Thompson knows that there’s still work to be done. He said the Spartans aren’t satisfied yet. Wyomissing will square off with undefeated Scranton Prep in the Class 3A state quarterfinals.
