The (7-2) Eagles saw their six-game winning streak come to an end. They looked good early with a 13-play opening drive that lasted six and a-half minutes. Aidan Gerhart found Braylon Reinert for an 8-yard touchdown pass. The 6’4, 229-pound tight end made five catches for 78 yards. Gerhart went 14-of-27 for 129 yards and 2 TD. On Exeter’s second series, it looked like Twin Valley had Donovyn Alvarez bottled up at the line of scrimmage. Alvarez was able to bounce outside and race down the left sideline for a 59-yard score with 1:34 left in the first quarter. The Raiders responded with a 45-yard TD pass from Foster to Majeski who was wide open down the right sideline. After a penalty on the Eagles during the extra point, head coach Brett Myers opted to go for the two-point conversion. His son, Lucas, ran it in out of the wildcat formation to make it 14-8 with 18 seconds remaining in the period.

Foster dumped off a throwback screen pass to 6’2, 215-pound tight end Jayce Oliver early in the second quarter. Oliver broke a tackle and picked up 66 yards down the left sideline. Myers capped the possession with a 3-yard touchdown run and Twin Valley was in front 15-14 with 7:43 to go before halftime. Exeter senior running back Josh Jackson answered with a 44-yard TD run up the middle. The 6’, 185-pound senior reeled in the two-point conversion pass from Gerhart to put the Eagles in front 22-15. Jackson provided 111 yards on 18 carries. Alvarez turned his ten carries into 95 yards.

Momentum shifted back to the Raiders thanks to an 89-yard kickoff return touchdown by Grant Moser with four and a-half minutes to play in the first half. Another two-point run by Myers gave Twin Valley a 23-22 edge. Exeter fumbled at its 11-yard line on the ensuing drive. Following a penalty, Foster fired a pass over the middle to Majeski for a 21-yard touchdown and a 29-22 lead. Maverik Foster, Gavan’s older brother, intercepted Gerhart along the right sideline on the next possession. The hard-hitting safety set up the Raiders at the Eagles’ 47-yard line with 54 seconds left in the second quarter. A 24-yard completion to Moser put Twin Valley at the 6-yard line. Myers’ 1-yard touchdown plunge resulted in a 36-22 score with ten seconds remaining before halftime.

Gavan Foster connected with Majeski over the middle for an 84-yard TD pass with seven minutes to go in the third quarter. The Raiders put up 28 consecutive points after falling behind 22-15. Majeski, who also plays basketball and baseball, gave credit to his first-year quarterback. “He’s done amazing. I played the entire last year with him on JV. Having that chemistry with him has really helped us,” noted Majeski.

Exeter converted on fourth-and-five with a 7-yard TD pass to Alvarez. The Eagles were within 43-29 with 4:14 to play in the third period. They recovered an onside kick, but wound up punting on that next series. Myers then went untouched up the middle for a 74-yard touchdown run on third-and-four with ten seconds left in the third quarter. Exeter trailed 50-29 entering the final period. On fourth-and-12, Gavan Foster rolled right and tossed a screen pass back to his left to his brother. Maverik picked up a couple of blocks and dove into the end zone for a 27-yard touchdown with 8:11 on the clock. Maverik Foster also contributed nine tackles. Oliver was in on a team-high eleven tackles.

Twin Valley is ranked #5 in the state in Class 5A by PennLive. The Eagles were #10 in that poll this week. The Raiders are averaging 40.2 points per game. They’re one win away from a second straight undefeated regular season. “Having the amount of playmakers that we have on our team opens me up for many different plays,” acknowledged Majeski. The Raiders host Cocalico next Friday.

Without further ado, here is my new Berks County high school football poll. Remember that no matter where your favorite team is ranked, the sun will come out tomorrow!

“The Great 8”

1.Wilson (6-1)

2.Twin Valley (7-0)

3.Exeter (6-1)

4.Wyomissing (4-2)

5.Conrad Weiser (5-2)

6.Schuylkill Valley (6-1)

7.Muhlenberg (2-5)

8.Fleetwood (3-4)

The (7-0, 4-0) Raiders were able to overcome interceptions on their first two possessions. Sophomore quarterback Gavan Foster launched a deep pass down the left sideline to his older brother, Maverik, on the first play. Jackson Eckardt made the pick and Solanco marched to the 1-yard line. Maverik Foster then ripped the ball away from quarterback Chase Sensenig and recovered the fumble in the end zone.

Twin Valley tried a trick play on its second series. Maverik Foster attempted a halfback pass, but once again Eckardt was there for an interception at the Raiders’ 37-yard line. This time the Golden Mules cashed in thanks to a 4-yard touchdown run by Wesley Bard midway through the opening quarter. Bard came into the contest with 1,036 rushing yards. The junior was averaging an astonishing 21 yards per carry. The Raiders responded with an 80-yard drive. Myers picked up five yards on fourth-and-5 from the 25-yard line. His 5-yard TD run evened things up at 7-7 with one minute left in the quarter.

Defensive end Alain Bazile, a 225-pound senior, provided a pivotal play with just over eight minutes remaining in the first half. After Sensenig tried to pitch the ball to Bard, Bazile picked up the fumble and went 85 yards for a touchdown. “I was expecting him to jump on it and we just get the ball. I see him scoop it up and take off. He’s a great player, great athlete,” replied Myers. On the next series, Sensenig connected with Bard for a 50-yard completion on third-and-11. That set up a 29-yard field goal by Tristan Brown. Solanco was within 14-10, however, there was still 1:59 on the clock before halftime. Twin Valley only needed 79 seconds to go 80 yards. Maverik Foster broke free on a 43-yard run down the right sideline. Myers finished it off with a 1-yard TD run and the Raiders took a 21-10 advantage into the locker room.

The Golden Mules covered 65 yards on the first possession of the third quarter. Kali Hines ripped off a 27-yard run to the 8-yard line. A 1-yard touchdown run by Sensenig made it 21-17 with nine minutes left in the quarter. Solanco then perfectly executed an onside kick and recovered the ball along the right sideline at the Raiders’ 49-yard line. The Golden Mules got into the red zone, but were turned back again. Twin Valley showed why its defense had only given up 33 points in its first six games. Sensenig rolled to his right and threw a pass to the goal line. Maverik Foster tipped the ball which hit the intended target in the helmet and bounced into the arms of senior linebacker Jayce Oliver for an interception.

Both teams then punted for the first time all night. The Raiders took over at their 34-yard line with 4:36 to play in the third quarter. They converted a fourth-and-3 at midfield and a fourth-and-1 at Solanco’s 37-yard line. Myers, a rugged 220-pound senior, grinded out some tough yards to move the chains on both plays. On third-and-9 from the 31-yard line, Gavan Foster tossed a short pass to Oliver who turned it into a 20-yard gain down the right sideline. Myers followed with an 11-yard TD run up the middle with 9:18 to go. His two-point conversion run was stopped, but Twin Valley was in front 27-17.

The Golden Mules faced a fourth-and-5 at their 43-yard line with 5:54 remaining. Bard’s halfback pass to Eckardt was incomplete. The Raiders got the ball back and opted not to punt on fourth-and-5 from Solanco’s 38-yard line. Maverik Foster delivered the nail in the coffin. The 6’, 180-pound junior took a handoff to the left and cut back across the entire field for a touchdown with 3:50 left to play. “I was excited. I trust our coaches that they’re gonna make the right call. I trust all eleven [players] on the field that they’re gonna do their job. That’s what happens when everybody works together,” emphasized Myers.

Jalen Dupree of Penn Manor had 256 all-purpose yards, including 106 yards on the ground and 3 TD. He added five catches for another 99 yards. The senior safety also made six tackles.

Jayden Conaway from Conestoga Valley can do it all. He ran for three scores, caught a touchdown pass, and even threw a 62-yard TD pass. Conaway turned nine carries into 182 yards. The senior cornerback made a handful of tackles, including 2 TFL.

Twin Valley junior running back Maverik Foster finished with 173 yards and 4 TD on ten carries.

Jeremiah Zimmerman was all over the field for Garden Spot. In fact, he played every snap on offense and defense. Zimmerman returned kicks as well. The junior WR/DB reeled in eight passes for 177 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He came up with an interception on the final play to seal the win.

Conrad Weiser senior quarterback Connor Sellars ran 19 times for 129 yards and 2 TD. He was 6-of-7 for 76 yards and another touchdown through the air.

Kutztown’s Ryan Walters racked up 239 yards and 2 TD on 27 carries. The junior safety came up big on defense with five tackles and a 96-yard pick 6.
