April 22, 2010 - Continental Indoor Football League (CIFL)
Wisconsin Wolfpack News Release
(MADISON) - Two Wisconsin Wolfpack players earned player of the week awards in week five of the Continental Indoor Football League (CIFL) season.
Former Wisconsin Badger Kurt Ware was named defensive player of the week and NFL kicking prospect Tony Smidl received special teams player of the week.
Ware recorded three tackles, including two sacks, in the Wolfpack's 49-0 victory over the Fort Wayne Firehawks last Friday in Fort Wayne, Ind. The shutout was the fifth in CIFL history.
Smidl connected on three field goals in the win and converted four-of-five extra point attempts. Smidl kicked field goals of 28, 41, and 40 yards.
"It's great to be recognized," said Smidl. "It's difficult to kick in the Hartmeyer with the lower ceiling so it was nice to be able to show what I'm capable of at the Fort Wayne arena."
The Wolfpack (2-1) return home Saturday to play the Marion Mayhem (2-1) at the Hartmeyer Arena. The game begins at 7 p.m. A portion of the proceeds from Saturday's game will go to Stoughton Youth Football. Former Badgers Matt Schabert, Andy Crooks, and Kurt Ware will sign autographs following the game. Fans should bring items to be autographed. Fans can pre-purchase tickets on the Wolfpack website at http://www.wiwolfpack.com/indoor.
