Warriors Defeat Mid Valley

Re-Broadcast on Facebook

Citizens Voice The mission was a simple one for Wyoming Area.  That mission was to control the line of scrimmage.
It was accomplished as the Warriors ran for 295 yards and seven touchdowns on their way to a 55-11 victory in the District 2 Class 3A semifinal over Mid Valley Spartans on Friday at Jake Sobeski Stadium.
The win puts Wyoming Area in the district championship next week against No. 1 Scranton Prep, which handled Lake-Lehman, 51-12.
Nick Kondrasky led the way for Wyoming Area, gaining 111 yards and scoring twice.The Warriors defense forced a Spartans punt on the initial possession of the game, and the offense found the end zone as Kondrasky took the snap, burst up the middle, and outraced the Spartan defenders for the early lead.
Wyoming Area’s Luke Kopetchny thwarted the next Mid Valley drive as he intercepted an errant Spartans pass. Kondrasky’s 23-yard jaunt gave the Warriors the ball deep inside Mid Valley territory on the Warriors’ ensuing possession. Facing fourth down from the 1-yard line, Kopetchny followed the middle of the Warriors line, and burst through the middle to increase the lead.
After the Spartans turned the ball over on down, Wyoming Area covered 31 yards in seven plays as Kopetchny called his own number, and sprinted five yards off left tackle as Wyoming Area tacked onto its lead.
After another Mid Valley punt gave possessions back to Wyoming Area, Kopetchny hit David Favata with a 40-yard pass to push the ball down to the 6. Three plays later, Kopetchny added his second 1-yard touchdown to put the Warriors up four scores.
Mid Valley broke onto the scoreboard late in the second quarter, moving the ball 31 yards in seven plays. Faced with a fourth down from the 20, Sean Patchkosky connected on a 37-yard field goal to trim the lead back to 28-3.
But Wyoming Area put together a drive in 36 seconds to punch its fifth touchdown into the end zone.
Kopetchny connected with Favata for a 45-yard gain, and later, Kopetchny faked a handoff to Michael McKernan, and hit a wide-open McKernan with a 20-yard scoring strike as Wyoming Area took a 35-3 lead into halftime.
The Warriors pushed the game into the mercy rule early in the third quarter where Jordan Rosario stripped the ball away from a Mid Valley runner at the 2-yard line, and Kondrasky punched in his second touchdown for the 42-3 edge.
Lavell Brock’s 45-yard score boosted the lead to 48-3 with nine minutes, and Antavione Randall scooted 21 yards for the Warriors’ seventh rushing TD of the night.
Mid Valley’s lone score came from Simpson Burridge, who scored from 2 yards out with 1:07 left to set the final score.
