Lehigh Valley Steelhawks News Release


Bethlehem, PA: In release made today, the league office of the Professional Indoor Football League announced that Lehigh Valley Steelhawks Quarterback Hunter Wanket was selected as the Week Ten Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts in the team's 63-47 victory over the Knoxville Nighthawks.

Wanket (6'4", Central Connecticut State) filled in for an idle Adam Bednarik, who missed the game due to personal reasons, and the Steelhawks #1 ranked Offense didn't miss a beat. The signal caller, starting his second game of the season, threw for 253 yards on 23 of 27 passing and three touchdowns, to go along with 28 rushing yards and an additional score. In his two starts this season, Wanket has thrown for nearly 600 yards, and eight touchdowns. He also has four rushing scores on the season.

The Steelhawks, winners of two straight, return home this weekend as they take on the defending champion Albany Panthers this Saturday night at 7 p.m. inside the Stabler Arena. This is the first meeting between the two teams. The game will be deemed Non-Profit Night with in game raffle proceeds going towards the RACE FOR ADAM. Tickets are available by visiting the Steelhawks website at www.lvsteelhawks.com or by calling the Stabler Arena Box office at 866-734-6204.
