Gavin Moody-Muhlenberg

The beauty of baseball is that there isn’t a time limit. Until the final out is recorded, anything can happen. Muhlenberg proved that on Monday night in Shillington with a dramatic 4-3 victory over Gov. Mifflin. Gavin Moody hit a two-run double to left-center with two outs in the top of the 7th. “I was sitting fastball the entire time, thinking I could drive it,” explained the sophomore outfielder. Kevin Rodriguez dove head-first into home plate with the go-ahead run. Ethan Weiler threw a complete game in his first varsity start. The 6’2 junior struck out Dante Casantini with runners on first and second to end it. “That was great, he shoved. They couldn’t touch him,” said Moody. Weiler gave up ten hits and four walks. He struck out five while keeping the Mustangs off-balance with changeups and curveballs. Weiler was effective without an overpowering fastball. Moody mentioned that Weiler reminds him of Dalton Follweiler, an All-County selection for the Muhls last year. Muhlenberg took a 2-1 lead in the 4th inning. Eli Keller ripped a RBI double down the third base line. The relay throw got away which allowed Keller to move up to third base. He scored on a sacrifice fly to left by Rodriguez. Gov. Mifflin responded with a pair of runs in the 6th inning. Nate Radwanski brought in courtesy runner Joe Kowalski with a sacrifice fly to center field. After an infield single by Joey Berg, Bryce Wunderlich came through with a two-out RBI double. Ethan Grim walked Keller to open the 7th frame. Rodriguez then hit a grounder to shortstop that looked like a routine double play ball, but the toss was dropped by Radwanski at second base. Grim struck out Aaden Lopez before reaching 100 pitches and being replaced by sophomore RJ Weaver. Assistant coaches from North Carolina and Pittsburgh were in attendance to see Grim. The hard-throwing junior held the Muhls to two hits with nine strikeouts and two walks. He was charged with four runs, but only one was earned. The (4-1) Mustangs committed three errors. Weaver struck out Josh Smeltzer before Moody delivered the clutch double. “The energy here was immaculate,” remarked Moody. Gov. Mifflin left nine men on base. Bryce Detwiler, Travis Jenkins, Grim, Berg, and Wunderlich each finished with two hits. Detwiler, a junior shortstop, is committed to UConn. Muhlenberg second baseman Cam Burr is headed to Kutztown University. He went 1-for-2 with a run. The (3-2) Muhls have another test on Tuesday when they visit Wilson.

Gavin Morris-Fleetwood

Gavin Morris is off and running…literally. Morris has rumbled for 252 yards in the Tigers’ first two games. He scored 4TD last week in a 38-14 victory over Annville-Cleona and he wasn’t at 100%. The 195-pound senior is averaging more than eight yards per carry. Morris is also having a big impact on defense at linebacker. You will learn that he watches a lot of film. Morris said that 6’4, 235-pound lineman Joey Svoboda helped him this offseason. I asked Morris what would happen if he and Svoboda squared off on the wrestling mat, haha. Plus, find out which teammate Morris thinks is most likely to be a comedian in the future.

Gavin Lenart-Wilson

Wilson knocked off Central Dauphin 27-21 in its season opener. Gavin Lenart said some reporters from Harrisburg gave the Bulldogs extra motivation. The 215-pound senior made a team-high 9 tackles. Lenart also ran for 40 yards and a TD on three carries. He was proud of the job that the offensive line did vs. the Rams. Wilson finished with 284 rushing yards and averaged 6.2 yards/carry. Meanwhile, CD averaged just 3.8 yards/carry. Lenart was happy to be back playing in front of a packed house at John Gurski Stadium.

Gavin Lenart and Jadyn Jones form a powerful 1-2 punch in the Wilson backfield. Lenart averaged 7 yards on his 33 carries last season with 4TD. He said the Bulldogs have “the best running back duo in the state.” Lenart’s dad, Joe, was a captain on Wilson’s 1990 District 3 championship team, but Gavin isn’t too impressed, haha. Gavin described the emotions of a Friday night game at John Gurski Stadium in West Lawn. He also talked about how playing lacrosse has helped him in football. Oh, he has no plans for cutting his hair!
