Williamsport duo downs Hazleton Area

Nanticoke buried by Lakeland run game

TUNKHANNOCK &#8212; Wyoming Area held the ball for more than 10 &#189; minutes of the first quarter without scoring Friday night.The Warriors made up for it in a hurry in the second quarter.Wyoming Area scored four touchdowns in less than eight minutes during a span of just five offensive plays on their first win, a 49-6 rout over host Tunkhannock in a Wyoming Valley Conference Class 3A game.P.J. Angeli threw for two scores and ran for another during the outburst. The other score was produced by a 50-yard Brian Miles punt return.Only an illegal block penalty that wiped out an apparent 86-yard Donovan O&#8217;Boyle kickoff return kept the Warriors from scoring four touchdowns in less than six minutes with just two offensive plays.The Warriors and O&#8217;Boyle, however, easily shook off the penalty.Miles ran for 18 yards, O&#8217;Boyle 20 and Angeli a 38-yard touchdown on the next play for a 28-6 halftime lead.Then, O&#8217;Boyle found a way to produce an even longer touchdown.After he made his second interception of the game at the 2 in the third quarter, the sophomore tailback raced 98 yards for a touchdown on the first Wyoming Area offensive play of the second half.&#8220;We did a good job blocking,&#8221; Wyoming Area coach Randy Spencer said. &#8220;I think our skills guys ran hard.&#8220;We were able to break some big plays.&#8221;That&#8217;s precisely what the Warriors were lacking a week ago, when they controlled play throughout but fell to 0-3 when North Pocono came up with more big plays and a late rally for a 26-21 lead.This time around, the Warriors controlled the ball and got the big plays.Wyoming Area moved 86 yards on 17 plays for the first touchdown.Steve Homza caught a slant pass to the left, then executed a spin to reverse direction into a 15-yard touchdown on third-and-nine on the first play of the fourth quarter. David Klaproth added the first of seven straight extra points for a 7-0 lead.The Miles punt return made it 14-0 with 9:25 left in the half.Tunkhannock, which lost its 20th straight, botched a punt snap and turned the ball over at its 18.Wyoming Area scored again on the next play when Marc Anthony Minichello turned a wide receiver screen from Angeli into a touchdown.The Tigers had just three yards total offense when they decided to try to convert fourth-and-three from inside their 30.Ryan Cywinski caught a six-yard pass for his team&#8217;s initial first down, then raced 67 yards up the middle on the next play for Tunkhannock&#8217;s only touchdown.Wyoming Area stuffed the two-point run attempt, then went right back to work, adding to its lead on Angeli&#8217;s run.Miles scored his second touchdown on a 2-yard run in the third.Homza wound up on the other end of a touchdown pass late in the game, throwing a 17-yarder to Jeff Urban with 2:29 left to close the scoring.Wyoming Area 49, Tunkhannock 6Wyoming Area`0`28`14`7`&#8212;`49Tunkhannock`0`6`0`0`&#8212;`6Second quarterWA &#8211; Steve Homza 15 pass from P.J.
