DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Dom Spaulding, Mount Ida

All eight of Spaulding's solo tackles on the day were for a loss of yardage, and he pushed the Hawks back a total of 32 yards on his own. He also had 3 solo sacks for a loss of 19 yards and one of those sacks pushed Becker into their own end zone for a Mount Ida safety. Spaulding also had a quarterback hurry on the day, as he was in the Becker backfield all game, and his pressure on Becker's quarterbacks led to a pair of Mount Ida interceptions, one of which was returned for a Mustang touchdown.
