Camara averaged a team-high 14 points per game as a sophomore at Reading. He was voted to the all-division team that season. Camara transferred to Berks Catholic and helped the Saints on the football field last fall. Despite missing the first three games, he finished second on the team in rushing yards with 758 and averaged 7.2 yards per carry. Camara scored seven touchdowns for the (9-3) Saints. Berks Catholic finished as the District 3-3A runner-up.

Camara’s basketball career at B.C. came to a halt just as it was getting started. A torn meniscus in the first game against Carver E&S ended his season. The Saints went on to win the Berks County and District 3-4A championships.

It didn’t take long to see why Hardy was so highly touted entering high school. He averaged 8.6 yards per carry and scored twelve touchdowns as a freshman. His presence was felt on defense as well with four interceptions. As a sophomore, Hardy was selected to the All-State team in Class 4A.

The 5’10, 190-pound junior ran for a team-high 979 yards and 15 TD this fall. He averaged a staggering 10.8 yards per carry. Hardy also led the Spartans with 12 catches for 127 yards and four scores. He was recently named the Defensive Back of the Year in Section 4 of the Lancaster-Lebanon League. Hardy made 40 tackles and three interceptions while forcing four fumbles this season.

Wyomissing reached the District 3-4A semifinals before dropping a nailbiter at top-seeded Susquehanna Township 37-35. Hardy ran for 156 yards and 2 TD on 17 carries in that game. He added a touchdown reception as the Spartans finished (10-2).

Hardy holds Division I offers from Temple, Liberty, Rice, and Kent State. He’s going from one outstanding program to another. Wyomissing has gone (81-11) over the past seven years. The Spartans captured a state championship in 2012 to go along with twelve District 3 titles. Meanwhile, Wilson currently owns the state record with 50 consecutive winning seasons. The Bulldogs have compiled 620 all-time victories.

Jeremiah Camara led Reading in scoring as a sophomore at 14 points per game. The 5’8, 175-pound guard was voted to the All-Division team. Camara hasn’t yet played in a football game for Berks Catholic, but that could change tomorrow night. Camara had to sit out for 21 days because he transferred at the beginning of the school year. The halfback and defensive back can return to the gridiron on Friday when the (1-2) Saints visit Pequea Valley.

Camara’s father, Francis, had been Reading’s boys basketball head coach the past two years. He was informed last week that his coaching position was being opened. The Red Knights went (13-12) and reached the BCIAA Championship Game. They didn’t qualify for the District 3 playoffs.

Berks Catholic won the District 3-4A title and advanced to the state final before falling to Devon Prep 55-39. The Saints will return two-time All-State selection Kingston McKoy, as well as Gavin Welker, Brady Altimar and Carmelo Harper. Berks Catholic finished (25-6) during the 2024-25 campaign.

Camara also played football at Reading. The Saints open their football season this Friday at Twin Valley.
