Wilson made a statement last Friday night that echoed well beyond the borders of the Lancaster-Lebanon League.<\/p>\n
With their 17-0 blanking of Manheim Township, the Bulldogs not only served notice to District 3 Class 6A teams, but also the rest of the state.<\/p>\n
For their dominating win over the Blue Streaks, Wilson has cracked the top 10 in the last Pennsylvania state football rankings complied by Eric Epler of Pennlive.com.<\/p>\n

Unbeaten Twin Valley (4-0) is ranked fifth in Class 5A and Exeter (5A) and Wyomissing (3A), which got its first win of the season on Saturday, are \u201cteams to watch\u201d in their respective classes.<\/p>\n
