Williams Valley took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Friday. They claimed a resounding 54-0 victory over the Upper Dauphin Area Trojans. Given the Vikings' advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania football rankings (they are ranked 153rd, while the Trojans are ranked 350th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Williams Valley's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Brady Shomper, who rushed for 71 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 110 yards and a pair of TDs while completing 77.8% of his passes. What's more, Shomper racked up 157.4 passer rating, the most he's had since back in October of 2024. Another rusher making a difference was Fletcher Thompson, who gained 98 total yards and two touchdowns.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Williams Valley proved: they limited Upper Dauphin Area to a paltry 2.8 yards per carry. The team can thank Trevon Bair for the heroic effort on defense: he. Williams Valley didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 7.3.
Special teams was a major factor in the game for Williams Valley, racking up 12 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Evan Achenbach, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.
