*Seemingly destined to hand Berks County its first football championship, Wyomissing used 127 rushing yards and two touchdowns from Mason Smith to slide past WPIAL power Aliquippa 17-14 Saturday afternoon in Hershey. A strong defensive performance in the final 24 minutes, coupled with Smith’s charging 36-yard TD run with 11:18 to play, secured the crown.
