The Berwick Bulldogs enter preparations after finishing the 2024 season with a 4-7 record under coach CJ Curry in Class 3A of PIAA District 2.

Returning Core Builds Continuity

Key returning starters include JJ Leonard at LT/DT, Draven Geiger at OG, Nico Lonczynski at C/G/DT and Ty’Meere Wilkerson at RB/DB. These athletes provide a direct link from the prior campaign while the team absorbs the absence of Chase Schuckers and Gavin Jones. The presence of experienced linemen and skill players illustrates how local programs rely on player retention to maintain structure year after year.

Parallel Efforts Across Other Berwick Sides

The Berwick Panthers baseball team reached a 4-8 record following a 16-2 win over the Tigers and prepared for its next contest against the Franklinton Demons. Meanwhile Berwick Rangers collected 10 points in March of the 2025/26 season to reach 10th place while targeting a top-half finish in the Lowland League. Each group operates within its own league calendar yet shares the same pattern of incremental progress rooted in consistent participation.

Evidence of Sustained Involvement

The documented records and roster details trace directly to ongoing community rosters rather than sudden influxes of outside support. The 4-7 mark from 2024 for the Bulldogs, the 4-8 standing for the Panthers and the March point total for Rangers all reflect repeated weekly commitments by players, families and coaches within established local frameworks.

Supporters can track the Bulldogs through the upcoming high school schedule and follow the Panthers on their listed Thursday matchup at 4:00 p.m. Rangers updates appear via their regular league bulletins. These channels allow residents to stay connected with the same teams whose recent results rest on the returning personnel already identified.
