NAPERVILLE, Ill. – Elmhurst’s Scottie
Williams and Wayne Tuckson, along with
Illinois Wesleyan’s Tyrell Bolden were named
the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Football
Players of the Week Monday.
Williams, a senior running back from Woodridge, Illinois and
Downers Grove South High School (Marketing major), rushed for 179
yards on 31 carries and two touchdowns during Elmhurst’s
35-30 win over Wheaton on Saturday. He averaged 5.8 yards per carry
and scored on touchdown runs of three and nine yards
respectively.
Tuckson, a senior linebacker from Louisville, Ky., and Dupont
Manual High School (Criminal Justice major), totaled 12 tackles
(seven solo) during Elmhurst’s win against nationally-ranked
Wheaton. He made two big second-half plays for the Bluejay defense
including a 57-yard interception return for a touchdown in the
third quarter that gave Elmhurst an 11-point lead. In the fourth
quarter with Elmhurst on top 35-30, Wheaton faced a fourth-and-one
from the Elmhurst three-yard line. Tuckson was one of two Bluejays
to stop the Thunder behind the line of scrimmage and give Elmhurst
the ball back on offense.
Bolden, a sophomore punt returner from Springfield, Illinois and
Springfield High School (Business Administration major), had four
punts for 105 yards (26.25 average) during the Titans’ 45-7
win over Carthage on Saturday. His 77-yard punt return in the
second quarter set up a three-yard touchdown run by Sean Conley,
giving the Titans a 24-0 lead. Bolden also rushed for 79 yards on
four attempts, including a 71 yard touchdown run, and had one solo
