Nesbitt, Katzenberg nab All-NSL honors

CLARK FORK — Clark Fork senior running back/linebacker Chaunce Nesbitt, and junior running back/defensive end Howard Katzenberg were each named to the All-North Star League football team this week, as voted on by the league’s coaches.

Nesbitt was named to the team for the first time after a stellar season on both sides of the ball.

“He brought a lot to the table with his athleticism, at tailback, fullback and receiver,” said Cats head coach Brian Arthun. “With his speed and quickness, he was one of the best athletes in the league this year.”

Katzenberg made the team for the second time, emerging as one of the toughest runners in the league.

“He ran between the tackles and could get the tough yards when we needed them,” said Arthun. “He led not only be example, but was a vocal leader.”
