Boyertown was on the wrong end of an incredible 60-point second quarter Friday night at Coach McNelly Stadium in Royersford on the way to a 66-31 Pioneer Athletic Conference Liberty Division loss to Spring-Ford.

Ryan Engro threw for 347 yards and six touchdowns and Spring-Ford (3-0, 6-1) blew the game open with a 42-18 outburst in the second period. Jamie Moccia caught a long touchdown pass and returned a kickoff 97 yards for a score for the Bears (0-3, 1-6).

"Where we want to take the program, that's where we want to go," Boyertown coach T.J. Miller said about the Rams. "Right now, we're two steps and three turnovers behind."

The Bears trailed by just 10-0 after a quarter and were within 24-12 early in the second as Connor Rohrbach took a toss in the backfield from quarterback Noah Segal and hit a wide-open Moccia cross-field for a 74-yard TD play and then caught a 28-yard scoring pass from Segal.

But five lost fumbles and nine penalties by the Bears in the first half were too much to overcome.

Engro threw touchdown passes to five different receivers.

"A great offensive performance for everyone," said Engro. "The receivers made the plays. It helps greatly when you can spread the ball to so many receivers."

"They kept seven in the box a lot of the night," added Rams coach Chad Brubaker. "We're going to take what the defense gives us. We've got a pretty good receiving corps. We're starting to get to the point where guys can catch the ball in traffic and break away for extra yards."

Miller was pleased to see his team continue to battle in the second half, which included a 76-yard scoring drive that took up most of the third quarter and another touchdown in the fourth.

"I'm happy with the effort the team gave," he said. "They never quit."

That was especially true of the young offensive line.

"It's absolutely huge," he said about its performance in the second half. "We didn't start one senior on the offensive line. They got to see what needs to happen."
