Judge overrules part of recommendation in termination lawsuit against county

<p>Williamsport had Treyson Potts back in the lineup. Berwick had two weeks of dominant football on its resume.</p><p>The Bulldogs made it three in a row.</p><p>Owen Shoemaker topped 200 yards rushing and scored three touchdowns and Alexander Force figured in on three himself to keep Berwick undefeated with an impressive 41-17 victory over the Millionaires on Friday in Williamsport.</p><p>Force connected with Dallas Schechterly for a 15-yard score in the first half and ran one in himself from 2 yards out to give the Bulldogs (3-0) a 20-17 lead at halftime.</p><p>Berwick&#8217;s defense, which hadn&#8217;t allowed a point in back-to-back shutouts over Abington Heights and Pittston Area to open the year, clamped down in the second half as the offense continued to make big plays.</p><p>Force threw a 51-yard touchdown to Blake Maurer and Shoemaker found the end zone for the second time on the night with a 64-yard score in the fourth quarter to take control of the game.</p><p>Williamsport (1-2) was coming off of a surprising shutout loss at Altoona a week earlier, though the Millionaires played that game without Potts, a senior running back who has verbally committed to play for Minnesota.</p><p>It was Potts who scored late in the first half to pull Williamsport within three points at the break. He also set up a field goal with a big punt return and had a long touchdown wiped out by penalty.</p><p><strong>Mahanoy Area 49, Holy Redeemer 0</strong> </p><p>The Royals dropped their third straight game to open the season, falling on the road in a non-conference matchup.</p><p>Mahanoy Area had lost its first two games of the season by a combined score of 61-7. But the Golden Bears raced out to a 49-0 lead before halftime and cruised to the win with the mercy rule in effect after the break.</p><style>
