Chase Eisenhower-Wyomissing

Wyomissing is starting the season with a bang. The Spartans host Southern Columbia on August 24th. “There’s been a lot of buzz about it. We know how good they are so we’re gonna come ready to play for them,” said Chase Eisenhower. The Tigers have won seven consecutive state championships and fourteen overall. Jim Roth will be looking for his 500th career victory. Wyomissing head coach Bob Wolfrum has a few wins under his belt as well. 362 to be exact. They’re the two winningest active coaches in Pennsylvania. Wolfrum is preparing for his 38th season at the helm of the Spartans. They’ve claimed five straight District 3 titles. Wyomissing has gone (61-6) over the past five seasons. J’ven Williams and Caleb Brewer have moved on to Penn State, but Eisenhower remains very confident in the offensive line. “They look as good as we’ve ever been…I feel like we’re just as good. We have a lot of depth,” stated Eisenhower. The 5’11, 220-pound rising junior rumbled for 1,092 yards and 17 touchdowns while averaging 7.2 yards per carry. Eisenhower, a three-year starter, also made a team-high 70 tackles from his inside linebacker position. Max Tipton, Caleb Beane, and Francisco Fabian return up front. Tipton will be shifting from tackle to guard. Their Wing-T attack piled up 312 yards per game on the ground last fall. The Spartans finished (12-2, 6-1) after falling to Northwestern Lehigh 33-24 in the PIAA-3A semifinals. Eisenhower mentioned that tight end Andrew Bresnahan is a player to keep an eye on this season. Fans will definitely be focused on rising sophomore Justice Hardy. He averaged nearly nine yards per carry, scored a dozen touchdowns, and made four interceptions in 2023. “It’s always great knowing that guy can get a touchdown or first down whenever he wants,” noted Eisenhower. The Spartans bring back six starters on defense and four on offense. Tyler Niedrowski and Derek Macrina are key figures on both sides of the ball. While much remains the same in Wyomissing, there is one significant change. The Spartans have been bumped up to Class 4A. They’ve reached at least the state semifinals in four consecutive years.
