FINDLAY, Ohio – University of Saint Francis inside
linebacker Brian Kurtz has been selected Mid-States Football
Association Mideast League Player of the Week for November
11, the fifth time this season the senior has been selected
for the defensive honor this season.
Cougars, Kurtz had nine tackles, five solo, one pass broken
up and the game-clinching interception at the USF 20 in the
No. 1 Cougars’ 21-20 win at Geneva College on Nov. 11. He
also made a block that helped fellow linebacker Dustin
Westafer ramble for a 57-yard TD with a first quarter
interception. And the Bishop Luers grad also caught a 4-yard
game-tying TD pass from QB Eric Hooks in the fourth quarter
against Geneva.
This
is a USF best sixth time Kurtz, a 2006 Pre-season Victory
Sports Network All-American and 2005 NAIA first-team
All-American, has won the weekly conference tribute for his
football career at USF.
The
Cougars, who have won 51 consecutive regular season games,
open NAIA Championship Series first round action on Saturday
at Bishop D’Arcy Stadium at noon against No. 16 Walsh. USF
defeated then No. 3 Walsh University on Nov. 4 21-7 for
their 50th consecutive regular season win in a
row. USF finished at No. 1 team in the NAIA Top 25, its
third week in a row at No. 1.
