CHICAGO - Quad City quarterback SAM CLEMONS, Rio Grande Valley wide receiver/defensive back MARQUIS FLOYD and Memphis defensive specialist DAHNEL SINGFIELD have been named the Offensive Player, U.S. Army Ironman and ADT Defensive Player of the Week, respectively, for Week 12 of the 2005 season.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Clemons (6-2, 210, Western Illinois), in his rookie season, guided the Steamwheelers' offense to 62 points in Quad City's much needed win over the Albany Conquest on Saturday. Clemons completed 19-of-28 passes for 287 yards and seven touchdowns with no interceptions. The former Leatherneck also rushed three times for six yards. His seven touchdown passes went to four different receivers and only one of his scoring passes was less than 15 yards. His 28-yard touchdown pass to Tim Dodge on third down and six with under a minute to play clinched the game for the 'Wheelers. The win also placed Quad City in the sixth and final National Conference playoff spot with five games to play. This is Clemons' first weekly award. The last Quad City player to win a weekly award was Matt Forbes, who won the ADT Defensive Player of the Week Award in Weeks 3 and 4.

U.S. ARMY IRONMAN OF THE WEEK Floyd (6-0, 190, West Georgia), in his second season, helped keep the surging Rio Grande Valley Dorados within one game of the Tulsa Talons in the West Division with a 55-36 win over Central Valley on Saturday. Floyd was the Dorados leading receiver and rusher, catching seven passes for 73 yards and three touchdowns while rushing twice for five yards and a touchdown. He scored a touchdown in every quarter for the Dorados. On defense, Floyd picked off two passes, broke up two passes and recorded one solo tackle. He registered 24 return yards on his two interceptions. This is Floyd's first weekly award. He is the second Dorado to be honored by the league in as many weeks. Dwight Counter won the Offensive Player of the Week honor last week.

ADT DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Singfield (6-2, 190, Buffalo), in his second season, took home the ADT Defensive Player of the Week honors for his performance against the Birmingham Steeldogs that helped the Xplorers win their sixth straight game.
