Ben Nienhuis of Oconomowoc has been selected as the Week 7 Air National Guard Player of the Week following a statewide vote on WisSports.net. Nienhuis helped the Raccoons win a battle of unbeatens against Slinger. He was chosen from a strong group of nominees in Week 7. A total of 8,011 votes were cast, as Nienhuis' 3,439 were enough to edge second place Brandon Thull of Kewaskum, who tallied 2,884.

In a battle of Wisconsin Little Ten Conference unbeatens, Nienhuis made sure the Raccoons' undefeated season remained intact, throwing a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns to help secure a 28-14 victory over Slinger. He finished 20 of 29 for 256 yards and two touchdowns. Nienhuis has been near the top of the state's passing lists all season, and is currently 3rd in passing yards and 2nd in touchdowns this year.

Remember folks, the only way your favorite player can be named Air National Guard Player of the Week is to vote and share the word. Look for the Week 8 nominees to be posted Monday afternoon.
