Amory Thompson-Wyomissing

Did you know that Amory Thompson is friends with Cam Jones of Wilson? In fact, they grew up playing football and basketball together. Jones and Thompson are two extremely dangerous kick returners. Thompson showed off those skills in a 45-7 rout of Conrad Weiser which gave Wyomissing the outright Section 2 title in the Berks Football League. The Spartans improved to (10-0, 6-0) while the Scouts slipped to (7-3, 4-2). Thompson told me that he wasn’t surprised by today’s final score. The 6’1, 185-pound senior ran for 76 yards and a TD on ten carries. His 18-yard score midway through the second quarter put Wyomissing up 24-0. Thompson opened the second half with a big kickoff return to the Conrad Weiser 36-yard line. He said the Spartans spend a lot of practice time on special teams. We discussed their defensive game plan against Dartmouth commit Logan Klitsch and the Scouts. Wyomissing allowed 122 total yards and only 23 on the ground! Drew Eisenhower came up with an interception in the first quarter that led to a Spartans’ TD. Plus, Thompson stressed the importance of performing well on their home field.
