Week 8- Special Teams Players of the Week

As the regular football season comes to a close we see a number of familiar names leading their team in the special teams game.  One of the familiar faces is Connor Bolduc, Punter for Mahtomedi.  He punted for a 41.5 yard average in his last regular season game of season and finished the regular season averaging 40.4 yards a punt on 16 punts with a long of 55 yards.  These numbers may put him in the realm of being the top overall punter in Minnesota in terms of punting average.  The top kicker this week goes to Gary Althoff of Hawley High School.  He converted all 7 of his PATs and converted 1 Field Goal for 10 points. Congratulations to everyone who earned specialists of the week honors!  Good luck to you all in the playoffs.
