The Cutters Catch of the Week Award for Week 11 goes to Spokane wide receiver RAUL VIJIL, while Bossier-Shreveport wide receiver/defensive back P.J. BERRY has been named the Playmaker of the Week. The Highlight of the Week award has gone to Milwaukee's defensive backs ANTHONY IVY, CARLTON BROWN AND TRACY BELTON.
JLS IRONMAN OF THE WEEK
Henderson (5-9, 190, Tuskogee) kept Dallas in the game against Tulsa, leading the team in receptions and kickoff returns. The Vigilantes took the lead in the end of the first quarter with an 18-yard pass to Henderson. Henderson would score again in the second quarter, but the highlight of the game would be his kickoff return. After an offensive slump, Henderson returned a 56-yard kickoff, snatching the lead in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately it would not be enough to clinch the win. Henderson ended the game with 10 receptions for a season high 104 yards and seven kickoff returns for 172 yards.
RUSSELL ATHLETIC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Allgood (6-1, 205, Central Oklahoma), the Texas native, took Tulsa to a road-win against his home state. Allgood completed 25-of-37 passes for eight touchdowns and a season high 384 yards. Three of his touchdowns came in the critical fourth quarter to win 69-51. Tulsa is now 5-2 in conference play, and will play the Spokane Shock for the second straight away game.
RIDDELL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
McIntosh (5-10, 175, Florida Atlantic) came out strong for the Tampa Bay defense, helping to lead the way to their fourth straight win. The recent addition to the Storm's defensive lineup lead the team in tackles with five unassisted and six assisted. McIntosh's shining moment came in the first quarter with an interception that would lead to an offensive touchdown. With two games under his belt, McIntosh is ready to show he is a main contender for this team.
CUTTERS CATCH OF THE WEEK
Vijil (5-11, 190, Eastern Washington) is always a strong offensive force for the Spokane Shock, but ended as the hero against Orlando. With 14.5 seconds left in the game, Vijil caught a 6-yard pass to win the game 53-52, silencing the Orlando crowd. Vijil ended the night with 11 receptions for 134 yards and four touchdowns.
NIFTY PLAYMAKER OF THE WEEK
Berry (6-0, 190, Virginia State) had incredible stats throughout the night, showing he lived up to his nickname "Superman." The BattleWings took the lead in the beginning of the second quarter with a rushing touchdown from Berry. The crowd-pleaser was the final play in the first half with a 58-yard TD return from Berry after a Barnstormer's missed field goal. Berry then completed a 2-point conversion to lead at halftime 28-21. Berry also had four touchdowns from 12 receptions and 111 yards.
SPALDING HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK
Milwaukee's defense made the highlight of the week with efforts from Anthony Ivy (6- 0, 195, Tennessee-Martin), Carlton Brown (5-10, 185, South Carolina) and Tracy Belton (6-0, 175, Massachusetts). In the fourth quarter, Ivy stripped the ball from Cleveland's Brent Holmes, which was recovered by Brown who lateraled to Belton for a 51-yard touchdown.
