Yocum – Berks Sports Report https://berkssportsreport.com Paul Roberts Sat, 16 Oct 2021 03:30:31 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 Ty Yocum-Exeter https://berkssportsreport.com/ty-yocum-exeter-3/ Fri, 15 Oct 2021 23:20:00 +0000 https://berkssportsreport.com/?p=1846 Most football games are decided at the line of scrimmage. There were two critical 4th and 1 plays in the final eight minutes of the Exeter-Berks Catholic Section 1 matchup. First, Ty Yocum and the Eagles’ defense stuffed the Saints at Berks Catholic’s 29-yard line. Yocum told me that he knew what play was coming. Two and a-half minutes later, Yocum picked up a big first down at the Saints’ 20-yard line. He followed that carry with a 1-yard TD run, and Exeter defeated Berks Catholic 33-21. Yocum finished with 32 yards and 2TD on eight carries. The 220-pound FB/LB loves short yardage situations. You will find out what advice Yocum gave to Eric Nangle who ran for 131 yards and a score. Plus, you will learn Yocum’s nickname. The Eagles are 5-3. They take on Reading next week. The Saints were up 21-14 midway through the third quarter. They’re also 5-3. Jay Jay Jordan had a 75-yard TD catch, a 21-yard TD run, and a 76-yard kickoff return that set up Berks Catholic’s first score.

Yocum’s 5-yard TD run tied the game at 14 with four minutes left in the second quarter. It was all Exeter after that at Don Thomas Stadium. Yocum rumbled for 46 yards on six carries. The 220-pound senior LB made four tackles and an INT. I asked him about squaring off against Wilson standout RB/LB Jadyn Jones. Yocum praised the Eagles’ student section. He also discussed how the early loss to Central York motivated the team.

Ty said his brothers have had a big influence on him. Ty led the Eagles in tackles last year with 71. The powerful runner made the most of his 23 carries, scoring 7TD. Ty was named a second team All-County all-purpose back, and a second team LB in Section 1 of the Berks Football League. I asked him if he would rather score a TD or make a big hit. Ty’s answer was perfect! He also mentioned his favorite comedians.
