Week 1 Shorewood Monarchs 0 - Milwaukee Venom 30

Player-Of-The-Week is a very prestigious award here in Venom country. It seems to get harder and harder to choose a single player that stood out in the game, hands above the rest. Which is why I will not be picking a single player to win this award in week 1. I will pick numerous players that had everything to do with this seasons first win. As a whole, they did not commit any offensive penalties or give up any sacks. They allowed 3 touchdowns to be thrown in and 2 touchdowns to be run in! They blocked for runners totalling 237 yards on just 27 attempts (that's a crazy 8.777 yards per carry average!) They blocked for 3 passing touchdowns on just 17 attempts (another crazy touchdown pass every 5.5 passes!) Ladies and gentlemen, everything starts with the big men upfront,
their numbers and sheer size proceed them,
your Player Of The Week for week one is The Sweat Hogs themselves, the ENTIRE O-LINE!!

 

Week 2 Burlington Blue Devils 7 - Milwaukee Venom 6

Player-Of-The-Week, sometimes is very hard and other times very easy to choose! In this case we are dealing with the latter. This guy seems to always be around the ball, even when not making the play, taking guys out so that others may enjoy the light, if only for a short while. This week he will enjoy adorning his helmet with 4 award decals. He was unaided on a sack, alone in the backfield on two other tackles behind the line of scrimmage, and was one half tackle short of being the tackle leader! Your POTW in week two is none other than MLB #31 Chris Frese!!

#33 CB Marques Lee
U.S. Army Staff Sergeant


#41 Anton Zavarnov
U.S. Army

Week 3 Greendale Panthers 0 - Milwaukee Venom 36

Once again we see a game where numerous players were eligible for P-O-T-W status! It is always hard when choosing as many men on this team play different roles and are worthy of mention. In this case, the numbers speak for themselves - here are the numbers 7, 2, 122, and 17.4 What does that mean Jimmy, you ask? Let me explain simply, 7 runs, 2 rushing touchdowns, 122 yards and a ridiculous average of 17.4 yards per rush.
Your POTW for week 3 is HB #21 Davon Sims!!

 

Week 4 Wisconsin Wolfpack 12 - Milwaukee Venom 26
*Max Award Winner*

P-O-T-W honors this week came against a very tough opponent on an inter-league game. A game that most thought shouldn't be played. Well, there was one guy that I'm sure is glad we ended up playing this game! With a very defensive battle for most of the game and numerous players stepping up to make plays, there was one guy who just seemed to keep showing his face. Showing his face to the QB on a sack, to the HB on a forced fumble, again to the QB on an interception, again on a batted pass, again to the HB on a forced fumble, and yet again to the QB on an UGLY hit on the close sidelines knocking off the QB's helmet and earning him the coveted "Captain Crunch" award. He has shown his face on the "Max Award Winner" wall, to those at the top of their game, placing it next to those with names such as "Solomon Cabell" and "Chris Frese."
Your POTW for week 4 is the prodigal son himself SS #6 Ben Peterson!!

 

Week 5 Milwaukee Venom 28 - Fond Du Lac Crusaders - 13
*Max Award Winner*

Conference games are always big, and historically, players coming back from injury play big on their first game back at 100%. This week, we saw the POTW at 3 different positions. This week, we saw the POTW get check marks under forced fumbles, fumble recoveries, tackles-in-backfield, and was just one half tackle short of being the tackle leader! On a defense where the average amount of tacklers per game is 20, to get 5.5 tackles is big. To get the only two fumble recoveries in the game and force one of them himself is big. Out of only 5 tackles-in-backfield, to be involved in one and a half is big. Although small in stature and wearing a small jersey number, this week being 100% after breaking his hand in the pre-season,
your POTW for week 5 is SS/OLB #16 "Ricky Bobby" Batzler!!

 

Week 6 Roscoe Rush 40 - Milwaukee Venom 14
*Max Award Winner*

In a game that is played by a team, and that team doesn't do it's job, it is very hard to hand out awards. That being said, there is also those shining lights, those glimmers of hope that beacon out and tell us to continue to fight. For even in the blackest of night, even the smallest of light shall shine bright! In this game, that light came from someone who's been knocking on the coveted POTW door for 6 weeks. That light, ironically came through fighting with a broken hand on the first play from scrimmage! That light, has been shining in the opposing teams backfields, blinding QB's while leading the team in sacks! In this game, he shined as tackle leader with 5, 3 on different occasions for a loss, and coming from a defense that's no joke, when on average there are 19 different men making tackles, this is no easy feat!
Your POTW for week 6 is, Mr. POTW with a broken hand man himself OLB #0 Jonny Bridgewater!!

 

Week 7 Milwaukee Venom 13 - Muskego Hitmen 12

Besides the basics of blocking and tackling, there are 3 aspects of the game of football. Offense, defense, and special teams. Of these, the biggest is special teams. In no other aspect of the game is there such a huge weight put on just one play. Just one play that can win or loose you the contest. In this game there were not one, not two, but three, yes three instances where this was proven to reign true as it resounded in our ears through the roaring of the crowd! One man was able to block not only one extra point, but two extra point attempts. He also was crucial in obtaining an extra point as he kicked it through the uprights himself! This man, was able to gain 4 tackles, 1 for a loss, as well as force a fumble. All of this and you'd think this man played SS? OLB? Think again...
Your POTW for week 7 is, the anchor of the defensive line, DT #61 Rio Sutton!!

 

Week 8 Milwaukee Venom 0 - Madison Mustangs 70

Week 9 Milwaukee Venom 15 - Rock County Gladiators 12
In Overtime
*Max Award Winner*

Sometimes it's hard to choose the POTW and other times it's as plain as day! In this weeks case, there were guys that put up a fight, but only one was overwhelmingly screaming he wanted it more! A quiet leader that doesn't use his mouth, but his actions to prove his worth, this guy is new to The Venom this year. He quietly fought for the starting role out of 6 possible players. He quietly hushed the critics that said he wasn't a top 5 IFL player at his position. He quietly rushed in 8 games for 713 yards on 115 carries, earning him a ridiculous 6.2 yards per carry average! Considering the defenses he's faced in the IFL, Madison, Muskego, Roscoe, Burlington, and Rock County, this is no easy feat! Focusing on this game however, he quietly put the offense squarely on his shoulders, and on 25 carries he gained 160 yards from scrimmage on the IFL's #5 ranked defense (that's an average of 6.4 yards per carry!) Always a positive speaker... when he speaks up that is!
Your POTW for week 9 is HB #20 Requize Rhodman!

 

Week 10 Milwaukee Venom 27 - Milwaukee Marauders 14
Battle of Brew City
*Max Award Winner*

The POTW award usually goes to the man who plays his position so well that everyone knows it was that man that had the best game of anyone on the field on that day. His position? Which one is that exactly? This man seems to play on every down, weather it's offense, defense, or special forces. Taking the field and dominating whenever he is needed to do so, which explains why he waited until the last regular game of the season to win this award. (Make no mistake about it, the players are who has control over who wins this award and who doesn't. They just have to make more plays than the man next to them!) Once again there were multiple guys that were nominated, but only one man that stuck out of the crowd just a little bit more. I don't know if it's because his head is a little lumpy or what? In this weeks game, he caught 3 passes for 37 yards and a TD. He gained 16 yards on a punt return. He ripped away 3 INT's from wide receivers for a total of 77 return yards. His biggest achievement of the game? Scaring the daylights out of the opposing kicker to the tune of having 3 kick offs go out of bounds!! (Which should go down as his 120 yards!) They were so afraid to put the ball in this mans hands on a kick off, that they would rather give us the ball on the 40!
This man needs no introduction, but will receive one from me anyway's.
Your POTW for week 10 is, the man with the most ever "max award winner" games in Venom history
FS/WR/PR/KR/? #7 Solomon Cabell!
