yards per carry and his 249 rushing yards ranks as the
third-highest single-game total in Elmhurst history.

Venhuizen (Evergreen Park, Ill./H.S.) was named the
CCIW Defensive Player of the Week after he totaled 11
tackles (nine solo), four tackles-for-loss, three sacks and

Thunder a 3-0 lead and his 27-yard field goal in the third
quarter tied the game at 13-13. He also had a seasonlong 55-yard punt that was fumbled by the Vikings and
resulted in a Wheaton touchdown two plays later to give
