Wyomissing limited Lampeter-Strasburg to seven points through three quarters. The Pioneers entered the day averaging 28 points per game. The Spartans went on top 7-0 on Ethan Nye’s 1-yard TD run with 1:17 left in the first quarter. The 6’, 170-pound fullback had a 27-yard run on that 67-yard drive. “He runs our trap really well. It’s not like he’s running people over, he’s not that kind of fullback. He’s sort of emerged. We’ve had a lot of different backs play because we’ve been loaded with injuries,” explained Wolfrum. Wyomissing remains without sophomore RB/LB Rylan Overley due to a quadriceps injury. They hope to have him back for the District 3-3A playoffs. Nye, a junior, finished with 111 yards and 2 TD on 22 carries. The Spartans ran the ball 47 times for 203 yards against the Pioneers.

Wyomissing faced a fourth-and-1 at Lampeter-Strasburg’s 37-yard line in the second quarter. Sophomore Nehzion Carter picked up two yards to move the chains. On third-and-9 from the 19-yard line, junior quarterback Brady Eisenhower found room off the left edge and got inside the pylon for a touchdown. That run put the Spartans in front 14-0 with 5:35 remaining before halftime. Eisenhower was 8-of-14 for 112 yards and a touchdown through the air. He added 33 yards on seven touches on the ground. “When you’ve got a double-threat quarterback, that makes it tough on a defense. That’s a killer,” noted Wolfrum.

The Pioneers put together a 75-yard series to pull within 14-7. Asher Jones tossed a 15-yard pass to his younger brother, Parker, which got them to midfield. Asher is a 6’3, 205-pound senior, while Parker is a 6’2, 187-pound sophomore tight end. Asher lofted a pass to Andre Flaud for a 36-yard gain down the right sideline. Saddiq Taylor capped the drive with a 9-yard TD run with 2:25 to go in the first half.

Wyomissing began the ensuing possession at its 35-yard line and Eisenhower found Andrew DiFabrizio for a 33-yard completion along the right sideline. Zander Westwood followed with a 13-yard run. The Spartans went back to Westwood for a touchdown with 34 seconds on the clock. Eisenhower rolled to his right and threw a screen pass back to his left where Westwood was wide open for a 9-yard score on third-and-1. “The play before we saw that they weren’t keeping anybody home,” said Wolfrum. Westwood’s catch made it 21-7 at the break.

Wyomissing’s defense forced a punt on the opening series of the second half. The Spartans then marched 76 yards for a 27-7 advantage with 3:29 left in the third quarter. On third-and-14 from the Lampeter-Strasburg 24-yard line, Eisenhower zipped a pass to DiFabrizio along the left sideline. DiFabrizio, a 6’ senior, did a great job of staying in bounds for a 21-yard reception. Nye went up the middle for a 3-yard TD run.

Asher Jones connected with Parker Jones for a 23-yard TD pass with 10:11 remaining. Asher Jones ended up 9-of-16 for 158 yards. Colby DeJessa chipped in with 53 yards on 16 carries. The Pioneers got the ball back with eight and a-half minutes to play. A sack by Westwood put a halt to that drive at midfield. The 6’3, 225-pound linebacker has also been Wyomissing’s leading rusher this fall. The Spartans finished with 315 total yards. They extended their winning streak to seven and will be the #1 seed in the District 3-3A tournament which begins in two weeks.

Wolfrum improved his all-time record to (389-96-1) over 40 years at the helm in Wyomissing. He’s guided the Spartans to a dozen District 3 titles and the 2012 state championship. “I don’t enjoy a lot of practices. It’s wearing on me. I love game day. I would really miss this, but I’m 76 and it’s kicking my butt a little bit,” he remarked.

Daniel Boone fumbled on the first play from scrimmage. Andrew DiFabrizio delivered the hit and Focht recovered the ball at the Blazers’ 28-yard line. Westwood took a sweep to the right and cruised 15 yards for a touchdown just two minutes into the game. Brady Eisenhower made it 14-0 by throwing a perfect deep ball down the left sideline to Focht with 7:38 left in the first quarter. While Wyomissing is well known for its Wing-T ground attack under legendary coach Bob Wolfrum, Eisenhower is a very capable passer. “It helps a lot. Now we run motions and throw the ball. It makes our offense way more dangerous,” noted Westwood. Eisenhower finished 4-of-4 for 144 yards. The Spartans piled up 381 total yards. They have put up 190 points in their last four contests.

After a 25-yard completion to DiFabrizio, Eisenhower kept the ball on a 14-yard TD run less than a minute into the second quarter. Westwood’s 34-yard TD run increased Wyomissing’s cushion to 28-0 with 5:24 remaining in the first half. One minute later, Daniel Boone had a bad snap while trying to punt. Focht scooped up the loose ball and went eleven yards for a touchdown. His third score of the day came with 41 seconds to go before halftime. Focht stepped in front of Dominic Stoudt’s pass along the right sideline. He cut across the entire field for a 78-yard pick 6.

The Spartans began the third quarter with a 65-yard drive. Sophomore Nehzion Carter capped it off with a 30-yard TD run. Carter then recovered a fumble at the Blazers’ 8-yard line. Levi Rohrer took it from there. His touchdown run put Wyomissing in front 56-0 with 1:41 to play in the third period. Daniel Boone got on the scoreboard with 9:33 on the clock. Sophomore Mason Murphy broke free on a 20-yard touchdown run. Freshman quarterback John Burmester added a two-point conversion.

The Spartans opened the season with a pair of challenging non-league games. They lost 34-27 at Southern Columbia and 42-14 to Twin Valley. Those teams are (13-1) combined this fall. “It helped us a lot. It made us a lot tougher and more physical,” emphasized Westwood. The 6’3, 225-pound linebacker can squat 500 pounds. He has offers from New Haven, Stonehill, Albany, and Stony Brook. Westwood ran the ball three times for 59 yards and made six tackles on Saturday. Stoudt was limited to 44 yards on twelve carries. He was 2-of-9 for 13 yards through the air.

The Spartans have captured a dozen District 3 championships. They’re currently second in the District 3-3A power rankings behind Schuylkill Valley. Wyomissing is ahead of Hamburg, Trinity, and Berks Catholic. Only the top four teams in Class 3A will qualify for the playoffs this year. “In my opinion, I think we’re the best in the district. I think we’re gonna go really far,” remarked Westwood.

Rylan Overley, a transfer from Gov. Mifflin, broke off a 19-yard run on the Spartans’ first series. The 6’3, 210-pound sophomore capped the 53-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown. Overley added a 2-point conversion after an encroachment penalty against the (3-1) Vikings on the extra point. “I knew that was huge when he came in the offseason. He’s a great player. It shocks me every time I realize that he’s a sophomore,” emphasized DiFabrizio. Wyomissing jumped in front 15-0 with 4:25 left in the first quarter. Two minutes later, Brady Focht returned an interception 40 yards to the 5-yard line. The 6’2, 175-pound junior also plays basketball for the Spartans. Ryan Delp went in motion and caught a 5-yard TD pass in the left flat from Brady Eisenhower to make it 21-0 with 2:31 remaining in the first period.

Northern Lebanon threatened on its next possession, but DiFabrizio made another interception in the end zone. “Actually, he beat me a little bit. I hustled back and the throw was a little late which helped me. I made a nice play on the ball,” he noted. Miller settled down following his third pick in the first 13 minutes of the game. He heaved a 63-yard TD pass down the right sideline to Bryce Yocum with 6:31 to go in the second quarter. The senior tight end entered Saturday with one reception on the season. Yocum finished the day with three catches for 77 yards and two touchdowns.

Wyomissing put together a five minute drive that covered 62 yards before halftime. Ethan Nye went up the middle for a 7-yard score and a 28-6 cushion with 1:23 on the clock. The (1-2) Spartans got the ball first in the second half. Eisenhower turned a broken play into a 52-yard touchdown run. “That was actually a miscue. He was supposed to hand it off to Zander [Westwood] and Zander went in motion early. Brady just kept it and took off,” replied DiFabrizio. The Vikings responded with a 10-yard TD pass from Miller to junior receiver Landon Copenhaver. That 47-yard series pulled them within 35-13 with 4:23 left in the third quarter. Curran Cirulli answered immediately with a long kickoff return to Northern Lebanon’s 20-yard line. A 1-yard touchdown run by Overley increased Wyomissing’s margin to 42-13 with three minutes to play in the quarter.

The Vikings, who went (1-9, 0-7) last fall, didn’t go away quietly under first-year head coach Nate Monroe. They played inspired football and outscored the Spartans 19-0 in the fourth quarter. “I think they fought harder than we did. They wanted it more…You could tell the coach cares for his players and wanted to fight,” acknowledged DiFabrizio. Brady Ryan’s 4-yard touchdown run made it 42-19 just 90 seconds into the final period. Ryan rushed for 116 yards on 26 carries. Northern Lebanon recovered the onside kick which set up a 27-yard TD pass down the left sideline to junior receiver Johnny Hilton. The Vikings trailed 42-26 with 9:07 remaining. Miller, who has eight touchdown passes, was then knocked out of the game with an injury. He was 15-of-23 for 187 yards. Copenhaver reeled in eight passes for 77 yards.

Junior Trystan Dorrittie took over at quarterback midway through the fourth quarter. His pass down the right sideline to freshman Chase Birkhead was overthrown and picked off by Eisenhower with three minutes left. Northern Lebanon got the ball back with 1:52 to go. The Vikings went 60 yards in just one minute. Dorrittie fired a 5-yard TD pass to Yocum with 54 seconds on the clock. However, the 2-point conversion failed which kept it a two possession game.

Bob Wolfrum, in his 40th season as Wyomissing’s head coach, wasn’t pleased with the final quarter. “I think he’s so mad he just said ‘I’ll see you guys on Monday’ and walked away,” said DiFabrizio. Wolfrum has won 383 games and twelve District 3 championships with the Spartans. He guided them to a state title in 2012.

Wyomissing allowed 333 yards on Saturday and committed ten penalties for 102 yards. The Spartans managed 232 total yards, including 221 on the ground. Nye had a team-high 59 yards on seven carries. Westwood chipped in with 50 yards on nine touches. The 6’3, 225-pound senior linebacker made 7.5 tackles. Overley provided 30 yards rushing, 5.5 tackles, and a sack. Wyomissing will get back to work before traveling to ELCO on Friday.

Wyomissing owns an impressive (45-20) overall record in the District 3 playoffs with twelve titles. Legendary head coach Bob Wolfrum is entering his 40th year at the helm. His 382 career wins are the most in District 3 history. “To be able to learn from one of the best in the state, it’s a great opportunity for the whole team. We’re blessed,” noted Eisenhower. Among active head coaches in Pennsylvania, only Jim Roth of Southern Columbia has more victories than Wolfrum with 521. The 15-time state champion Tigers will host the Spartans in their opener on Friday, August 28th. “We’ve had the upper hand over them the last few years, but everyone on the team knows that it’s not a gimme. We’re ready to get another shot at them and get a win,” replied Eisenhower.

Wyomissing returns six starters on offense including Eisenhower. However, the Spartans’ top six rushers are gone. Justice Hardy, a two-time All-State pick, transferred to Wilson in December. Hardy had 19 combined rushing and receiving touchdowns in 2025. He ran for a team-high 959 yards while averaging 10.9 yards per carry. Wyomissing’s top two tacklers graduated. Chase Eisenhower, a four-year starter, and Tyler Niedrowski, a three-year starter, were stalwarts at linebacker. Chase, Brady’s older brother, finished his outstanding career with 3,000 rushing yards and 48 TD. He led the squad with 88 tackles and a dozen tackles for loss a season ago.

The Spartans do have two familiar faces in their linebacker corps, as well as a newcomer to keep an eye on. Zander Westwood has picked up Division I offers from Stony Brook, Albany, Stonehill, and New Haven. The 6’3, 225-pound senior made 52 tackles and 5 TFL last year. “He’s a hard hitter. I’m lucky not to be hit by him,” joked Eisenhower. Westwood will see playing time at both fullback and halfback in the Wing-T offense. Diamante Strong, a senior TE/LB, had a team-high four sacks. They’ll be joined by Gov. Mifflin transfer Rylan Overley. The 6’2, 210-pound sophomore will also be in the backfield with Westwood, Ethan Betances, and Ryan Delp. Andrew DiFabrizio is back at receiver.

Wyomissing averaged 327 yards per game on the ground last fall. The Spartans’ offensive line will be led by seniors Christian Kauffman and Robbie Martino. Kauffman is an imposing figure at 6’4 and 280 pounds. Martino (5’9, 190) provides versatility at center or guard. Fans at Bob Wolfrum Field should remember the name Theo Mack. The 6’5, 270-pound freshman is already competing for a starting job.

Eisenhower only attempted 60 passes over twelve contests as the Spartans went (10-2, 6-1). The 6’, 170-pound junior completed 58% of his throws for 550 yards and 13 touchdowns. Eisenhower understands that the Wing-T attack focuses on the running game, and that doesn’t bother him. “I just want to be the best for the team. This offense allows me to always have a completion when we do throw. As many opportunities that I’m given, I’m ready to take the chance. I’m just thankful to be in the spot I am,” he explained. The ground-and-pound style has served Wyomissing well. The Spartans are (81-11) over the past seven seasons. They’re moving down from Class 4A to Class 3A this fall.
