A Lancaster-Lebanon League division title won\u2019t be on the line Saturday in Wyomissing, but it doesn\u2019t diminish the meeting between the Spartans and the Twin Valley Raiders.<\/p>\n
A year ago, Twin Valley beat Wyomissing 28-6 enroute to win the LL Division 4 title, the District 3 Class 4A title and advancing to the state title game.<\/p>\n
This season, Twin Valley is bumped up to Section 3 in the LL and 5A in District 3 and PIAA play.<\/p>\n
Wyomissing remains in LL Section 4 but drops down to 3A for districts and states.<\/p>\n
The \u2018non-league\u2019 contest will have eyes on it outside of the conference because of where they stand in the state rankings.<\/p>\n
Twin Valley enters ranked sixth in 5A and Wyomissing is fifth in 3A.<\/p>\n
The Raiders (2-0) have been impressive again this season, easily beating Middletown in Week 1 before downing a good Susqeuhanna Township team 17-13 in Week 2.<\/p>\n
Wyomissing is 0-1 with a Week 1 loss to Southern Columbia, perennially one of the state\u2019s best small schools, and having its Week 2 game against Frankfort canceled.<\/p>\n
The only other Berks team to gain recognition is Wilson (1-1), which remains a team to watch in 6A. The Bulldogs lost to Central Bucks West 35-23 in Week 2.<\/p>\n
Across all the classes with one-fifth of the regular season in the books, it\u2019s clear who the top teams around the state are and figure to be all season.<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh Central Catholic is already considered the clearcut favorite to win the PIAA gold in December and teams like Pine-Richland (5A), Bonner-Prendergast (4A) and Southern Columbia (2A) are also likely to end their seasons at Cumberland Valley High School.<\/p>\n
