Accomplishment: With the Titans looking to cement their position as playoff contenders in Class 1A North, Wyche and Clark have both provided a huge offensive spark over the last two games from the running back position.
Last Saturday against Sparrows Point, Wyche delivered the game tying touchdown in regulation, as well as the decisive score in overtime, to help the Titans earn a crucial 22-14 victory to improve to 6-1 on the year. Wyche, who also converted two point tries following each score, carried 30 times for 157 yards.
Thursday night on the road at Bel Air, Clark, New Town’s true workhorse from the fullback position, paced the Titans en route to a 32-0 victory. Clark rushed for 65 yards and three touchdowns on 11 carries.
With the plethora of weapons in New Town’s high-powered offense, both Wyche and Clark have proven to be true team players, making the most of their carries while unselfishly contributing in the blocking game when not handed the ball.
