Boyertown made the trek down Route 663 on Thanksgiving morning for the annual game against the Indians from Upper Perkiomen to close out the 2008 campaign. The return trip home for the holiday feasts was a pleasant one for the Bears and their fans as Boyertown came away with a 16-14 win over the Tribe. The victory gave the Bears a winning record in the PAC-10 at 5-4 and set their overall record for the season at 5-7 in head coach Mark Scisly’s first year.
Senior QB David Crognale needed just 53 yards passing to become the first player in PAC-10 or Berks County history to pass and run for over 1,000 yards in the same season. When the Bears got the ball to start the game, Crognale started firing right away. He completed his first pass to senior Ty Showers for 28 yards, but lost 5 yards on his next pass. After an incompletion, he connected with senior Eric Repko for 16 yards and then junior Ryan Schwager for 15 more yards to give him 1,001 on the season. That drive then stalled but the Bears got the ball back after a three-and-out for the Indians. The Bears drove 24 yards on their ensuing drive before sophomore Aaron Sassaman connected on a 28 yard field goal to give Boyertown an early 3-0 lead.
The Indians then put together a long drive that ended with a TD on the first play of the second quarter to put the hosts on top 7-3. The Bears answered back on their next drive with another Sassaman field goal, this time from 27 yards out. The Boyertown defense then stepped up and forced a fumble on the next Indian drive to get the ball back in the offense’s hands and they struck quickly. Crognale hit Schwager over the middle and Schwager outran several defenders for a 58 yard TD and a 13-7 lead. On their next drive, Upper Perk picked off a Crognale pass and returned it to the Boyertown 20-yard line. They would score with a short TD run right before the half to take a 14-13 lead into the locker rooms.
Upper Perk got the ball to start the second half but turned it over on downs. The Bears got the ball at their own 20 and proceeded to put together their most impressive drive of the game, going 71 yards on 16 plays while killing 8:29 off the clock. Once again, Sassaman was called upon for a field goal as he kicked a 26-yarder for his third of the game (and third of the season). The Bears’ defense forced the Indians to punt as the game headed into the fourth quarter and the offensive line helped pound out yards as the clock continued to tick. The Indians picked off another pass to end a Boyertown drive, but the Bears’ D picked it up again as they recovered another Upper Perk fumble with just over 7 minutes to go in the game. The Indians would never see the ball again, as the Bears were able to run the final 6:44 off the clock to secure the 16-14 victory.
The 2008 season is now in the books, and 23 seniors have played their final game. Congrats to the entire team and coaching staff on a fine season!
