Claysburg Secures ICC North Divison Title Even with Lose

The Claysburg-Kimmel Bulldogs came up just short in their attempt to tie the game late, as Mount Union held on for a 21-13 victory. With the Bulldogs driving, Mason Campagna’s pass was tipped and fell incomplete, turning the ball over to the Trojans, who ran out the clock.

Despite the loss, Claysburg-Kimmel still secured the Inter-County Conference’s North Division title through a three-way tiebreaker with Mount Union and Moshannon Valley. In the head-to-head matchups, the Bulldogs finished with a plus-three point differential, while Moshannon Valley had plus-one, and Mount Union was minus-four. A final touchdown by the Trojans would have given them the division title.

Mount Union had possession with 3:35 remaining and drove to the Claysburg 26-yard line before taking a knee to run out the clock.

On Claysburg-Kimmel’s senior night, running back Mark Lattieri stood out as an unsung hero. He crossed the 1,000-yard mark for the season with a 50-yard run on the Bulldogs’ first offensive play. Lattieri finished the night with 22 carries for 140 yards and a touchdown, capping an impressive performance despite the loss.

Next week Claysburg-Kimmel will travel to Everett to end the regular season on Frida
