Doug Dahms-Wilson

Strong winds and heavy rain forced Wilson and Manheim Township to run the ball at John Gurski Stadium. That was just fine with the Bulldogs who had 64 carries and only five pass attempts. Wilson ran for 333 yards and averaged 5.2 per carry. The Bulldogs played a game of keep away with the Blue Streaks. Wilson had the football for nearly 32 minutes. Jadyn Jones led the way with 177 yards on 30 carries. Quarterback Brad Hoffman wasn’t far behind. He added 148 yards on 25 runs including 2TD. Hoffman also threw a 21-yard TD pass to Cam Jones who had another big night returning kicks. Doug Dahms talked about a questionable penalty that erased a 71-yard punt return TD by Jones. You will find out what Dahms said to his players at halftime when the game was tied at 7-7. The Bulldogs’ defense allowed just 208 total yards to a team that was averaging 35 points. Manheim Township went 0-for-6 on third down. Wilson had 20 first downs compared to eight for the Blue Streaks. Dahms explained how his team has been able to turn things around after a (2-3) start to the season. The Bulldogs have won five in a row. Dahms told me that the District 3-6A playoff field is wide open. He is (168-34) over 16 years as the head coach at Wilson.
