Ethan Ritger of Fall Creek has been selected as the Week 5 Player of the Week following a statewide vote on WisSports.net. His big day helped the Crickets defeat Cadott in a Cloverbelt Conference game. He was chosen from a strong group of nominees in Week 5. A total of 6,116 votes were cast, as Ritger's 1,920 were enough to edge second place Justin Evans of Menomonie, who tallied 1,494 votes.

Fall Creek's Ethan Ritger set a new school record with 325 yards and 5 touchdowns on 34 carries last Friday, as the Crickets defeated Cadott 42-28 in a Cloverbelt Conference game. Ritger also threw for a 33-yard touchdown in the victory. Four of his rushing scores came after halftime, when the teams were tied at 14 points apiece, including a 36-yard scoring jaunt in the fourth quarter to help ice the game for Fall Creek.

Remember folks, the only way your favorite player can be named WisSports.net Player of the Week is to vote and share the word. Look for the Week 6 nominees to be posted Monday afternoon.
