Daniel Hornacek of Notre Dame has been selected as the Level 1 Football Player of the Week following a statewide vote on WisSports.net. His big day helped the Tritons go on the road to score a win in the opening playoff game. He was chosen from a strong group of nominees in Level 1. A total of 5,223 votes were cast, as Hornacek's 1,710 were enough to edge out second place Braeden Ott of Nicolet, who tallied 1,341 votes.

Notre Dame sure didn't play like the lower-seeded road team on Friday night, defeating Fox Valley Lutheran 39-14. Senior running back Daniel Hornacek continued his strong season with a 348-yard rushing performance on 43 carries, scoring four touchdowns as the Tritons' ground game controlled things. They advance to take on Menasha in Level 2.

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 2 nominees to be posted Monday afternoon.
