Austin Larson of Dodgeville has been selected as the Week 2 WSN Player of the Week following a statewide vote on WisSports.net. Larson led a furious comebacke for the Dodgers, who rallied to beat Platteville 48-45. He was chosen from a strong group of nominees in Week 2. A total of 4802 votes were cast as Larson's 2185 votes edged Green Bay Preble's Will Daniels, who finished with 1853.

Dodgeville put the rest of the SWC on notice that they will be a contender this year, rallying to defeat Platteville 48-45. Trailing 38-20 late in the 3rd quarter, and 45-35 with just over 4 minutes to go in the game, quarterback Austin Larson twice brought the Dodgers back for the win. He completed 13 of 28 passes for 420 yards and 4 touchdowns. Larson also added a pair of rushing scores. His four TD's through the air covered 76, 72, 42, and 82 yards respectively. With his team down 45-35 with under 5 minutes left, he threw an 82-yard score to Logan Yeager, then scored the game-winning points on a 16-yard scramble with 2:23 left.

Remember folks, the only way your favorite player can be named WSN Player of the Week is to vote and share the word. Look for the Week 3 nominees to be posted Monday afternoon.
