a younger player has stepped up as linebacker. Keaton Piacine is a player who rotates in the offensive and defensive line for Wyomissing. The key to the victory for Wyomissing is to control the clock with their running game and keep Northwestern Lehigh off the field. This Wyomissing team has improved greatly from their lone loss against Cocalico earlier this year.
Northwestern Lehigh Top Players:
Eli Zimmerman (RB/DB)
Dalton Clymer Dalton Clymer 6'0" | 190 lbs | ATH Northern Lehigh | 2024 State PA (RB/LB)
Devon Hildebrand (WR/DB)

Northwestern Lehigh has had a special season. They are 14-0 on the season for a reason and have been one of the most dominant programs this season. They have spent most of the season destroying the competition in blow-out victories. They will have a tough task to defeat a talented team in Wyomissing. They are led by

Shane Leh

Northwestern Lehigh | 2026
State

is there sophomore quarterback, who has had a strong year. He is very good in the pocket as he has thrown for over 1,700 yards and 22 touchdowns. Eli Zimmerman is a good 2 way player at defensive back and a playmaker on offense. Devon Hildebrand is there leading receiver who makes difficult catches in traffic. Northerwestern Lehigh runs a spread attack, which is a different scheme then Wyomissing's Wing-T, so a game of contrasting styles should be fun to watch. In order to win this game Northwestern Lehigh will have to play there best game of the season. This game should be a battle.

and Kole Doppelheur. They are also led by Brandon Laux at quaterback who has had a good year throwing the ball. The 3-headed rushing attack of Gedekoh, Doppelheur and Martin have rushed for over 2,000 yards. The key is they need to be able to get stops on defense and get the ball back for there explosive rushing attack. Martin is a special kid and expect them to try to get him loose in this game as well.
Hictory Top Prospects:
Zander Telesz Zander Telesz 6'3" | 165 lbs | ATH Hickory | 2025 State PA (QB)
Sean Kennedy Sean Kennedy 5'9" | 200 lbs | RB Hickory | 2024 State PA (RB/LB)

has had a strong season at quaterback for Hictory. Hictory will have to have another strong effort on defense to slow down Belle Vernon and then score when they get opportunities. Hictory has been a resilitant team all year, so I expect them to play there best game all season.
