Montoursville’s Ethan Lazorka, right, and Brycen Mussina, left, are two of the area’s nine all-state selections announced Monday.

Montoursville and Loyalsock epitomize what a fierce high school rivalry is. But now some Warriors and Lancers are joining forces and becoming teammates.

What a team it is, too.

Seven Montoursville and Loyalsock players earned 2016 Pennsylvania Football All-State Team honors Monday. That cross-creek haul highlighted a big day for area football as 10 players were selected to the Class AAA and A all-state teams.

Montoursville set a program-record as four players, kicker Ethan Lazorka, quarterback Brycen Mussina, tight end Mitchell Rothrock and wide receiver Tommy Shea were named to the Class AAA all-state team. Three Loyalsock players joined them, offensive lineman Crae McCracken, linebacker Hunter Webb and athlete Marcus Williams. Lewisburg linebacker Trey Delbaugh also was selected. Combined, Montoursville and Loyalsock went 18-6 with the Warriors winning the District 4 championship.

Muncy defensive end Hunter Poust and Canton linebacker Kaden Martell were picked as Class A all-state. The following is a look at the 10 area all-state players.

Seperate teams are announced for each class. Class AA, AAAA, and AAAAAA will be announced Tuesday.

Class AAA

Trey Delbaugh, Lewisburg: One of the best to ever play at Lewisburg, Delbaugh topped 100 tackles for a third straight year, averaging a team-high 11 per game and helping the Green Dragons reach districts for a ninth straight year. Delbaugh made 378 tackles the past three seasons, averaging 11.3 per game, both area-bests during that time. The senior averaged 11 tackles per game, intercepted three passes, forced four fumbles and returned a fumble 89 yards for a touchdown.

Ethan Lazorka, Montoursville: Lazorka earned his second straight all-state selection and had one of the best years in District 4 history. Lazorka made an area-record nine field goals and 48 of 49 extra-point tries. He made his first 48 extra-point tries before his final one this season was blocked. Lazorka was a weapon who consistently delivered in pressure moments, making five field goals in five games decided by five points or fewer. Lazorka produced 145 points the last two years, third highest among area kickers in the 2000s.

Crae McCracken, Loyalsock: One of the best two-way starting linemen to play in this area in the 2000s, McCracken anchored both Loyalsock units and is receiving significant Division I interest. A four-year starter who never missed a game, McCracken helped Loyalsock average more than 30 points and 400 yards per game and solidified a young unit that made tremendous progress throughout the season. McCracken often overpowered opponents and also averaged 6.7 tackles per game while finishing his career with 273 tackles and 42 tackles for loss.

Brycen Mussina, Montoursville: One of District 4’s most valuable players, Mussina was vital to helping a young team that lost most of its starters capture a district championship. Mussina became District 4’s all-time leading passer, throwing for a record 6,966 yards and 69 touchdowns. Receiving Division I interest, Mussina shined bright his senior year, throwing for an area-record 2,866 yards and 30 touchdowns. During his career, Mussina never missed a start, helped Montoursville win two championships, reach three district finals and win 28 games against one of the district’s most demanding schedules.

Mitchell Rothrock, Montoursville: No area tight end since two-time all-state selection Nate Messner in 2002 has had a season like Rothrock’s. The senior became a huge weapon in Montoursville’s passing game, often owning the middle of the field, catching 26 passes for 625 yards and 11 touchdowns. Rothrock helped keep defenses honest on the outside, averaged 24 yards per catch and consistently made big plays in big games. Rothrock finished tied for third among area receivers in touchdown catches and topped 60 yards four times.

Tommy Shea, Montoursville: Like his teammates, Shea had one of the best seasons in Montoursville history and one of the best in district history. Shea was a force each week and won District 4’s triple crown in catches, yards and touchdowns. Shea set Montoursville records with 63 catches for a district-record 1,347 yards and 14 touchdowns. Also an excellent linebacker, Shea was a dynamic playmaker who topped 100 yards five times and 90 yards eight times. Shea caught at least one touchdown in nine different games and caught 12 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns against District 4 Class AAAA champion Jersey Shore.

Hunter Webb, Loyalsock: He did not play as a freshman, but Webb has quickly become one of the state’s best linebackers, topping 100 tackles in each of the two seasons. An explosive player who covers large portions of the field, Webb averaged 11.9 tackles per game and made 131. Webb is receiving Division I interest and made 22 tackles for loss, in addition to having three sacks, an interception and a fumble return for a touchdown.

Marcus Williams, Loyalsock: This is not a case of Williams could do, but what he could not do. Williams was Loyalsock’s Mr. Everything and made a huge impact on both sides of the ball. A year after tearing his ACL and missing all but the first quarter of the season opener, Williams caught a team-high 33 passes for 714 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also ran for 645 yards and 10 touchdowns. The senior totaled 22 touchdowns four different ways and was one of the area’s premier cornerbacks. Williams intercepted three passes, recovered two fumbles and helped Loyalsock win eight games.

Class A

Kaden Martell, Canton: Watch Canton play defense and one could not miss Martell. The junior linebacker seemed to be in every play, averaging an area-best 12.5 tackles per game, finishing with 138. Over the season’s first 11 weeks, no Class A linebacker made more tackles than Martell, who made 17 or more tackles five times. He also topped 13 tackles six times and had 38 tackles in 2 games against District 4 runner-up Sayre. Martell recovered three fumbles and forced another while anchoring the offensive line as well.

Hunter Poust, Muncy: The hard-working defensive end was among District 4’s leaders in tackles for loss, making 20. Poust also averaged seven tackles per game and had seven sacks for the District 4 champions. Poust, also a solid offensive lineman and one of the team’s most valuable players, elevated his performance in the playoffs, helping Muncy win its first district title since 1986. He had 10 tackles and a sack in a 13-0 district championship win over top-seeded Sayre and also recovered two fumbles and blocked a field goal.
