Conrad Weiser came into Shillington Friday night for their annual meeting with Governor Mifflin with high hopes.  Weiser was coming off a 42-14 drubbing of Muhlenberg.  And despite a 9-1 series advantage, a Mustangs’ close call with Exeter last week gave hope to the Scouts of a possible upset.  The Weiser confidence showed with an 80-yard opening play TD pass.  That confidence lasted an entire 32 seconds.  Governor Mifflin answered with a TD of their own on their first play and never looked back.  The Mustangs scored on their next five possessions and blew away Conrad Weiser 49-14.

The Mifflin win marked several milestones.  This was Governor Mifflin’s fifth straight Berks Section 1 Title.  The win extended the Mustangs’ Berks 1 winning streak to 31 games.  The senior class at Mifflin has never experienced a conference loss during their career.

As mentioned, Weiser scored on the first offensive play of the game.  An 80-yard pitch and catch from QB Tyler Hoss to Josh Joseph stunned the Mifflin crowd and put the Scouts out to a 7-0 lead.  Joseph’s four catches this season, have all been for TD’s.  On Governor Mifflin’s first offensive play, Wilson Fontanez answered with a 73-yard TD run for the Mustangs.  With only 32 seconds into the game, two plays, two TD’s, and we were tied at seven.  Mifflin then imposed their will on Weiser.  Wilson Fontanez scored on a 12-yard TD run on Mifflin’s next possession and put the Mustangs in front for good 14-7.  On the next Mifflin possession, it was QB Jan Johnson’s turn for a 12-yard TD run.  Johnson culminated the next Mustang possession with a 38-yard TD pass to Phillip Henry making the score 27-7 Mustangs.  An Eliseo Ortiz dive got the score to 35-7 with 3:52 left in the first half.  Mifflin’s special teams have been stellar all season and made their presence felt tonight as well.  Evan Pollack returned a punt 50 yards for a score and Mifflin led 42-7 going into the break.  The Mustangs dominance continued into the second half.  The opening drive resulted in Wilson Fontanez’s third TD of the night and twentieth TD of the season.  It was 49-7 Mifflin at this point. The final was Governor Mifflin 49 Conrad Weiser 14.

Both Governor Mifflin and Conrad Weiser will play in the post season.  Mifflin is brimming with confidence could go into the post season as high as a #2 seed in the District 3 AAAA playoffs.  Weiser will qualify in the D3 AAA but are likely to be on the road in week one.
