Inter-County - North Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Nasir Collins Has Career-Day on Friday
Starting off the list is Mount Union's Nasir Collins, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Collins made seven total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 65 yards.
On the season, Collins has averaged 8.1 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 interceptions. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had six rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 17.

Reifer Came Up Big in Moshannon Valley's 27-0 Win
Rocco Reifer was instrumental in extending Moshannon Valley's winning streak to five on Saturday. Reifer was dynamite, rushing for 221 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.6 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 60 yards.
For the year, Reifer has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 142.1 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 52.71 rushing yards per game.

Josh Ryan Delivers Electric Performance Vs Juniata Valley
The second Mount Union player making an appearance here is Josh Ryan, and for good reason. He rushed for 80 yards and three touchdowns.
Ryan might have his next game, a road matchup with Southern Huntingdon County, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Ryan saw the Rockets), he rushed for 131 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries.

Mark Lattieri and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Claysburg-Kimmel picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Mark Lattieri. Nobody could stop Lattieri as he rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also picked up 92 receiving yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
On the season, Lattieri has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 17.1 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 12.

Mason Campagna's big game helped extend Claysburg-Kimmel's winning streak to five on Friday.

He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
