Braiden Behnke, Clintonville has been selected as the Week 9 Football Player of the Week following a statewide vote on WisSports.net. His big day helped the Truckers secure a postseason spot. He was chosen from a strong group of nominees in Week 9. A total of 7,820 votes were cast, as Behnke's 3,174 were enough to edge out second place Isaac VandenBush of Luxemburg-Casco, who tallied 2,881 votes.

Clintonville needed a win to clinch a playoff spot, and for a while it wasn't looking good fo the Truckers. Trailing 14-0 heading into the fourth quarter, senior quarterback Braiden Behnke accounted for three touchdowns to lead the team to an 18-14 win. He threw a pair of scores and ran for one in the deciding final quarter, finishing the game with 271 yards and those two touchdowns through the air with an additional 32 yards and one score on the ground, as he accounted for all but five yards of offense for the Truckers. 

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 Level 1 nominees to be posted Monday afternoon.
