Ben Gorniak – Quarterback – Edmonton Huskies

The 5th-year quarterback had a most impressive start to the 2011 season as the Huskies

yards, throwing for 2 touchdowns to receivers Yannick L’Abbe & Anthony Barrett in the
41-34 setback.

Jayson Bates – Defensiveback – Chilliwack Huskers

Like the offensive side, the defensive side of the ball also had a number of terrific
individual performances. For the second consecutive week the Defensive Player of the
Week is a member of the Chilliwack Huskers. Defensive back Jayson Bates had a
wonderful game and kept the Huskers close with two interceptions, two solo tackles, one
assist, one special teams tackle and one ball batted down. Bates is in his fourth year with
the Huskers organization.

Kyle Willis – Returner – Winnipeg Rifles

The rookie running back that spent last season with the BCFC’s South Surrey Rams made
a huge impact in his first PFC game. He returned 3 punts for 108 yards, including a 57-
yard return for a touchdown as part of a 20-point third quarter that propelled the Green
Gunners to a 41-34 win over the Edmonton Huskies
