Wyoming Area went through quite a bit of adversity this season. Luke Kopetchny moved from wide receiver to quarterback with last year’s starter Jack Gravine out for the season with an injury. Kopetchny accounted for four total touchdowns as the Warriors advanced to the District 2 3A Final with a 55-11 victory over Mid Valley. “Luke is just a dynamic playmaker. A Division One athlete. Above that, he’s a leader and a great teammate.” Said Wyoming Area head coach Randy Spencer of his quarterback. Kopetchny is committed to play for Brown next season.

The Spartans received the opening kickoff but were only able to get one first down before punting the ball away. On the first play for the Warriors, Nicolas Kondrosky went 57 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead with 6:40 remaining in the first quarter. Kopetchny ended the Mid Valley drive with an interception. Kopetchny ended the drive with a one yard touchdown run to increase the Wyoming Area lead to 14-0 with 2:51 remaining in the first.

The Spartans went four and out on their next drive. In the second quarter, Kopetchny scored his second touchdown of the game, this time from five yards out to make it 21-0 Warriors with 8:51 remaining in the second quarter. After a punt by Mid Valley, Wyoming Area went on a nine play drive, highlighted by a Kopetchny pass to David Favata for 36 yards and ending with Kopetchny’s third touchdown of the game as they lead 28-0 1:54 remaining until halftime.

The Spartans did get points on the board. Kayden Barnauskas had a 36 yard run into Wyoming Area territory. The drive ended with a 37 yard field goal by Sean Patchcoski to make it 28-3 with 36.9 remaining in the second quarter. The Warriors looked to score and after a pass interference penalty. Kopetchny found Mike McKernan for an eight yard touchdown to make it 35-3 as we headed to halftime.

The Warriors cruised through the second half. Kondrosky scored from two yards out to make 41-3 with 8:27 remaining in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Lavell Brock scored from 44 yards out to make it 48-3 with 9:36 remaining in the game. Antavoine Randall scored from 21 yards out to make it 55-3 with 4:01 remaining in the fourth quarter. Mid Valley got a touchdown as Simpson Burridge scored from two yards out and got the two point conversion to make it 55-11 with 1:07 left and that was your final score. Wyoming Area advances to the District 2 3A Championship Game where they will play Scranton Prep at Scranton Memorial Stadium next Friday night.
