WILSON BULLDOGS (2-0, 4-1)
@
HEMPFIELD BLACK KNIGHTS (2-0, 2-3)
Where: Georgelis Law Firm Stadium, Landisville, PA
When: 7:00 PM, Friday, October 7th
HOW'D THEY GET HERE?
- Wilson has responded quite well since their season-opening loss to Governor Mifflin, 34-28, in OT. They've won 4 straight, including their first two versus Lancaster-Lebanon League competition (McCaskey & Cedar Crest). The offense has gotten better, especially senior QB Seth Klein, though senior RB Rodney Gillin remains the focus. The biggest reason for the high level of play is the defense. Since being decimated by the rushing attack by the Mustangs in Week 1, the squad has been relentless, routinely holding opponents below their game averages.
- Despite starting the season 0-3, with losses against Lampeter-Strasburg, Lancaster Catholic, and Central York, the Black Knights have won two straight. They toppled Penn Manor, 28-21, in Week 4 & J. P. McCaskey, 38-12, in Week 5. The game versus Wilson will actually help decide a front-runner in L-L Section 1 with Manheim Township.
- This is the 38th meeting between the Bulldogs (2-0, 4-1) & the Black Knights (2-0, 3-2). 1st place in L-L League Section 1 is on the line on Friday night! Wilson leads the all-time series, 27-10-0, with their last win coming in 2010 at Gurski Stadium in West Lawn, 35-0. They also won on their last trip to Landisville, 28-7. Hempfield hasn't won a game in the series since 2005, when they defeated the Bulldogs 56-28 at home.
