Even with both graduating classes running somewhat deep and the boys losing a few key returners to injury, the teams have handled those blows with grace and confidence. There isn’t a soul on either squad that believes it can’t compete for a district title this season.“We graduated a very strong group of seniors last spring but have had several underclassmen step-up during the winter season,” said Williamsport coach Jeremy Steppe prior to the season. “I am confident that thi

Prior to this year, Rumsey had to go up against boy wrestlers. While that was far from fun for Rumsey — as she joked at regionals she got beat up in those matches — it made her better. Iron sharpens iron, and those matches again boy competitors helped develop Rumsey into an even better wrestler overall. Fast forward to this winter, and that was evident. In the first year of girls wrestling being a PIAA-sanctioned sport, Rumsey became one of the area’s first-ever state medalist as she ended her career with a bronze medal at 148 pounds, one of just five area wrestlers to earn a medal this year.

Boys JV/Varsity Soccer vs. Selinsgrove Area High School
Boys JV/Varsity SoccerWilliamsport - The boys soccer team bettered their record Wednesday night with a shutout win against Selinsgrove. A free kick deep in Williamsport’s offensive third by sophomore Spencer Kaar bounced around and junior Brayden Jarrett slipped it past the keeper for what turned out to be the game winner. With a one-goal lead heading into the second half, Williamsport seemed to take their foot off of the gas pedal. While Selinsgrove began gaining momentum early in the second half, it was short lived. After a few minutes, sophomore Isaac Balza fed a pass to fellow sophomore Connor Hofstrom who buried his bending blast from 25 yards out into the upper right corner as an insurance goal for the Millionaires. Sophomore keeper Max Fink and his defensive crew limited the Seals to zero goals and just five shots. Williamsport improved to 7-7-1 on the season and travel to Bellefonte for their final regular season game next week.

Boys JV/Varsity SoccerLewisburg - The boys' soccer team traveled to Lewisburg yesterday afternoon to take on league-leading and District 4 powerhouse Green Dragons. The Millionaires surprised Lewisburg in the first half with their speed and physicality in the center of the pitch and along the defensive line. While the Green Dragons outshot the Millionaires in the first half, the defensive group of Tadd Ungard, Parker Johnson, Charlie Plummer, and Trevor Estes limited their quality opportunities throughout the half. The score remained deadlocked at zero at the break. Early in the second half, sophomore captain and center midfielder, Spencer Kaar delivered a corner kick to the far post where senior defender Tadd Ungard collected it and slid his shot past the keeper for a one-goal advantage. Unfortunately, Lewisburg was able to mount a comeback and score the equalizer and go-ahead goal within minutes of each other late in the second half. The boys are at home again We

Boys JV/Varsity SoccerWilliamsport - The boys' soccer team held their "blackout" night and Senior Night at the Williamsport Soccer Complex as they battled against the Mustangs from Midd-West. Both teams had several opportunities in the first half to score but were deadlocked at 0-0 at halftime. After the break, Midd-West seemed to have more possession and scored the game-winner mid-way through the second half. Max Fink tallied nine saves last night. "The energy from our student section was outstanding, especially in the first half during the downpour. We loved the atmosphere our fans created for the boys and hope that kind of vibe can continue for future games," noted a coach after the game. Williamsport is home again Saturday afternoon as they play a non-league game against Athens at 2:00.

Boys JV/Varsity SoccerWilliamsport - A steady rain dampened the turf at the Williamsport Soccer Complex as the Jersey Shore Bulldogs visited the Millionaires for a league matchup. Our Williamsport boys maintained possession within their offensive half of the pitch all game, but struggled to find the back of the net until late in the first half. Sophomore captain, Spencer Kaar, netted his first goal of the season after collecting a pass from senior Tadd Ungard. Early in the second half, sophomore Brayden Ungard tallied an insurance goal for the Millionaires; the assist coming from sophomore Isaac Balza. Williamsport’s defensive crew consisting of Parker Johnson, Charlie Plummer, Tadd Ungard, and Trevor Estes allowed zero shots on goal. Throughout the remainder of the second half, Williamsport continued to control the pace of play as well as test the Jersey Shore keeper. Williamsport is back at their soccer complex next Wednesday night to battle Midd-West.

Boys JV/Varsity SoccerDanville - For the third consecutive game, the boys soccer team was playing on the road. After two tough loses to Milton and Altoona, the Millionaires needed to get off to a good start against Danville and then look to build from it. Williamsport started the game aggressively and were able to maintain possession in their offensive half for a good chunk of the first ten minutes. Senior captain Evan Brittain crossed a ball to the far post where sophomore Isaac Balza collected it and slid it in for an early lead. After Danville found an equalizer, sophomore Connor Hofstrom calmly trapped a long deflection near the eighteen yard line and drilled his shot past the Ironmen keeper to give Williamsport a 2-1 lead at the break. “Our message to the boys was to not change a thing about how we were playing. We wanted to remain aggressive and exhibit a solid soccer IQ.” noted head coach Brett Hofstrom. The Millionaires picked up right where they left off and scored

The sophomore Ungard wasted little time as he collected a pass from junior Dumfer Adjei-Frimpong inside ten minutes of the opening whistle. A few minutes later sophomore captain, Spencer Kaar, slotted his assist through to Ungard for his second goal.

Williamsport found themselves down a goal early, but battled back to tie the score at one a piece after senior defender Tadd Ungard buried his shot into the back of the net from just inside the eighteen. Once again, however, our boys allowed another Wildcat goal and had a 1-2 deficit heading into the break, even though they had an 8-3 advantage on shots. The Millionaires decided not to change the game plan and continued to pressure the Central Mountain midfield and defense, allowing scoring opportunities to pile up. While the Wildcats produced one quality scoring chance in the second half, it was the Millionaires who created several more threatening situations in the final third.
