Brandon Thull of Kewaskum has been selected as the Week 5 Air National Guard Player of the Week following a statewide vote on WisSports.net. Thull was a workhorse in an overtime victory against Kiel last Friday.. He was chosen from a strong group of nominees in Week 5. A total of 5103 votes were cast, as Thull's 2230 were enough to edge second place Peter Chenal of Frederic, who tallied 1896.

With the proliferation of spread offenses, 20 carries in the NFL is usually considered a lot. Even at the high school level, anything over 30 is a big number. For Kewaskum running back Brandon Thull, he went well beyond that mark on Friday night to help his team secure a 44-43 overtime win against Kiel. He carried the ball a staggering 51 times, racking up 430 yards and 5 touchdowns, including the game-winning touchdown and ensuing two-point conversion in overtime.

It is unclear where his 51 carries ranks in Wisconsin history, but it is known that 60 is the current record, set by Eau Claire Memorial's Steve Fingerson back in 1990. His 430 yards is good for 8th place on the single-game list.

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