Tech, Northern split weekly honors

BUTTE - Josh Johnson and Corey Edmundson, both of Montana Tech, and Tanner Cochrell of Montana State-Northern were named the football players of the week Monday in the Frontier Conference.

Edmundson, a 6-0, 256-pound sophomore lineman from Harrison, chalked up three quarterback harries and caused one fumble.

Northern's Cochrell returned four kicks for 78 yards in Northern's 57-0 loss to Carroll. He's a 5-8, 180-pound freshman from Drummond.
