<p>The style of games has been much different in the early going. Chances are very strong that Williamsport&#8217;s coaches and players aren&#8217;t concerned about it.</p><p>Can&#8217;t lose if you don&#8217;t allow a point.</p><p>The Millionaires, well known for their explosive offense in recent years, has had that overshadowed through two weeks by an impressive defense that has now pitched back-to-back shutouts after blanking fellow Class 6A program Altoona 31-0 on Friday night in Williamsport.</p><p>The Millionaires had opened the season with another convincing 28-0 win over Central Mountain</p><p>What had been a tight 10-0 Millionaires lead at halftime &#8212; led by a Dallas Griess touchdown run &#8212; opened up after the break as the Mountain Lions couldn&#8217;t get anything going.</p><p>Griess added his second score on the ground in the third quarter and Keith Freeman ran one in himself to make it 24-0 in the fourth.</p><p>Freeman&#8217;s added a second touchdown run later in the quarter and finished with nearly 200 yards rushing to put a cap on the victory.</p><p>Now at 2-0, Williamsport is set for a showdown with another of the Wyoming Valley Conference&#8217;s top defenses. The Millionaires will travel to Berwick next Friday to meet the 2-0 Bulldogs, who haev allowed just six points in their first two games.</p><style>
