WEEK TWO OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – CLINTON SOLOMON/ WICHITA WILD Wichita Wild wide receiver Clinton Solomon introduced himself to the Omaha Beef fans by exploding with 7 catches for 146 yards and 3 TD’s. In a game where scores traded like stock the performance of Solomon kept the Wild close to the game winning Beef all night long. He managed to pierce the Beef secondary with regularity and scored his longest touchdown for 45 yards. Final score was Beef 41 – Wild 36.
WEEK TWO DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – DAUDI WHITE / FAIRBANKS GRIZZLIES In a good old fashioned Northwestern brawl the two Alaskan rivals ducked it out in the Sullivan Arena for some Monday night football. When the Fairbanks Grizzlies needed that extra punch to put the game away they called on defensive back Daudi White. The Grizzly DB was outstanding in the secondary breaking up 3 passes, making 2.5 tackles and intercepting a critical Alaska Wild pass and returning it for a touchdown. The Grizzlies defeated the Wild 54-35.
WEEK TWO SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK – SPETLAR TONGA / OMAHA BEEF If you are going to be successful in the IFL you better have great linebackers and great special teams players. Fortunately for the Omaha Beef they have both in one package. Spetlar Tonga was all over the field on Friday night before the hometown crowd in Omaha. Tonga was the difference in the special teams for the Beef blocking 3 kicks that prevented crucial scores by the Wichita Wild. Tonga who also plays middle linebacker was dominate on defense racking up 7.5 tackles and 1 interception.
