Trevor Arentz of West Salem has been selected as the Week 1 Jolly Good Football Player of the Week following a statewide vote on WisSports.net. His big day helped the Panthers open the season in the right way. He was chosen from a strong group of nominees in Week 1. A total of 5,053 votes were cast, as Arentz' 1,649 were enough to edge out second place Carson Fletcher of Racine Horlick, who tallied 1,206 votes.

West Salem and neighboring Onalaska met up in another big-time non-conference game in the Coulee region. West Salem would score a 27-7 victory, with senior Trevor Arentz playing a big role. Normally an offensive lineman, he moved into the backfield in a few packages and would rush for 81 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries. The rest of the time, he was a key figure up front at guard on offense for the Panthers. He also had a team-high 10 tackles as a middle linebacker.

Remember folks, the only way your favorite player can be named Jolly Good Football Player of the Week is to vote and share the word. Look for the Week 2 nominees to be posted Monday afternoon.
