Berks Catholic Battles Back To Beat Wyomissing 42-40

Written by: Bruce Badgley on January 2, 2020

(Reading) Just throw out season records. It does not matter what sport or where they play. When Wyomissing and Berks Catholic meet up it is intense action from start to finish. Thursday night was no different when the Spartans made the short drive to BC in a Berks Two Hoops clash. The Saints (2-0, 4-2) started sharpe and ended strong defeating Wyomissing 42-40.

BC’s solid Sophomore Matt Harley did it all scoring 23. Sharpe shooting Darren Brunner with 13 and Max Hurleman’s 11 paced the Spartans

Berks Catholic looked good early.
