Berwick Area

Sophomore Quarterback Jared Pierce made his first start for the Dawgs and he was 5 of 13 passing for 40 yards and one touchdown. Most of the night Pierce handed the ball off to Alec Ladonis and Lou Hampton, both backs combined for 256 yards and a pair of scores. On defense the Dawgs had several questions going in to this year and had to replace many starters from last year. The Dawgs picked up right where they left off allowing only 56 yards of total offense.

Berwick’s next opponent is Tunkhannock.
