OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Stanley Jackson, Marion Mayhem

The former Ohio State Buckeye helped his team wrap up the Eastern Division crown this past week with a win over Fort Wayne. The Mayhem set a franchise mark for victories (eight) during a 62-47 triumph over the Freedom at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Ind.

Jackson threw a career-high eight touchdowns during the win, just one shy of the league mark held by Chicago’s Russ Michna. He threw two touchdowns to four different Mayhem wideouts, including Ian Schmidt, Tavares Woodley, Jared Stace and Maurice Douse.


DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Jon Kowalyshen, Rock River Raptors

Kowalyshen was a force on the defensive side of the ball for Rock River during their win over Wheeling on Saturday night. The week nine special teams award winner helped the Raptors stay in contention for the league’s final playoff spot with a 46-34 win over Wheeling at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, W.Va.

The Western Illinois alumnus tied Thomas McKenzie’s league record for sacks in a game with four. He had sacks on each of Wheeling’s first two plays and added two more later in the contest to tie the league mark. He finished with 6.5 tackles, including five solos.


SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Scott Duvall, Milwaukee Bonecrushers

The 54-year old Duvall did what no other CIFL player has ever done during Milwaukee’s loss to Chicago at home. The Bonecrushers hung tough with the league’s lone undefeated team, but fell 70-50 to the Slaughter at US Cellular Arena in Milwaukee, Wis.

Duvall, who was in training camp with the San Francisco 49ers in 1980, converted the first drop kick point-after try in league history on Milwaukee’s first touchdown. Duvall, who is the oldest player to ever play in a CIFL game, joined Carlos Ojeda, Doug Flutie, Phil Setterquist and Brian Mitchell as the only players to convert a drop kick in the last 50 years of professional football.

This week’s VidSwap.com Players of the Week include a pair of Marion teammates and, for the first time in 2009, a Rock River Raptor. Marion quarterback Stanley Jackson picks up the offensive award this week and teammate Mike Tatum is this week’s special teams honoree. Rock River defensive back Dwayne Baldwin claimed the defensive award.

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Mike Tatum, Marion Mayhem


OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Stanley Jackson, Marion Mayhem

The former Ohio State signal caller returned from injury to lead his Marion Mayhem to a come-from-behind victory over Wheeling on Saturday night. Jackson, who is also part of the Mayhem ownership group, keyed Marion to a 61-57 victory over Wheeling at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, W.Va.

The Mayhem QB, who was knocked out of action in the last meeting between Marion and Wheeling, completed 17 of his 22 pass attempts on the night. He tallied 181 yards and five touchdowns through the air and also picked up 33 yards on two carries. His five-yard scoring strike to Ian Schmidt with eight seconds remaining completed the comeback for the Mayhem.


DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Dwayne Baldwin, Rock River Raptors

A single play by the Rock River defensive back saved the Raptors from falling victim to another comeback by the Wisconsin Wolfpack. Baldwin and the Raptors picked up their third-straight victory after starting 0-4 by defeating the Wolfpack 25-21 at the Rockford MetroCentre in Rockford, Ill.

With 42 seconds remaining in the contest, Baldwin stepped in front of a Rob Gilbreath pass in the endzone to prevent the Wolfpack from completing another comeback victory over the Raptors. Baldwin finished the night with four solo tackles and the game-saving pick.


SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Mike Tatum, Marion Mayhem

Tatum’s exploits in the special teams department helped Marion bounce back from a loss on Saturday night. The Mayhem captured a 61-57 comeback win over Wheeling at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, W.Va.

Tatum racked up 149 all-purpose yards, including 118 kick return yards, during the Mayhem victory. He also provided one of the game’s most exciting plays when he slid through a pack of five defenders at the goal line and rumbled 50 yards for a kick-return touchdown with 8:18 left in the first half. His 31-yard missed field goal return at the end of the first quarter set up another Marion score.
