Looking at Wilson

Oops...wrong Wilson. Sorry.

There. That's better. OK, so by now we all know that Wilson is the No. 1 seed in the district and that they're undefeated. The task is certainly not going to be an easy one for the Bears, but one they will be up for. So let's take a look at their opponent. First, here are some quick, bulleted points on The Dawgs.

• Wilson's starting defense hasn't allowed a touchdown in EIGHT games.
• Wilson's defense as a whole hasn't allowed a point in nine quarters.
• They inflicted the mercy rule on 7 of their 10 opponents, and 6 of the 7 Section One foes.
• Wilson is allowing just 7.2 points per game and 160 yards of offense per game (a ridiculous number), and they are the No. 1 ranked rush defense and overall defense in the Lancaster-Lebanon League.
• They have outscored opponents 396-72. Wow.
• Their schedule this year included wins over district-qualifiers Governor Mifflin, Manheim Central, Downingtown East, Hempfield, Penn Manor and Warwick.
• They have forced 26 takeaways.

Stats:
Offensive leaders:
QB: Steve Huber, 53-101, 774 yards, 7 TD, 2 INT. Missed some time in the first half of the season with a knee injury.
RB: Zacc Groff, 112 carries, 955 yards, 15 TD. He's their gamebreaker.
FB: Dylan Stopper, 60 carries, 428 yards, 15 TD. Bruiser with a nose for the end zone.
WR: Alex Fegley, 26 catches, 519 yards, 11 TD. Nearly half of his catches are for touchdowns. Amazing.

Defense: We already went over what to expect from Wilson's D. Stuff the run, pin you back, pin you back, make you punt from deep in your own territory, give the offense a short field to work with. Repeat.
Here's who to keep an eye on in that defense:
LB Colton Weaver. Arguably the best defender in the league. He'll be all over the place.
LB Pat Zerbe and LB Jordan Holbert. Two tough, fast kids who will be playing football at the next level.
Linebacker High School, huh? Tomorrow (or possibly later today, depending on if I can get this technical glitch fixed) we'll look at E-town's stats, chat with Coach Polites and I'll give you my thoughts on the game.

Until then, thanks for stopping by.
