DETROIT'S DAVIS IS
AFLWA PLAYER OF THE WEEK

LAS VEGAS (AFLWA)Thabiti Davis not only put up big numbers for the Detroit Fury, but he made plays in the most important times to become the Player of the Week, as voted on by the Arena Football League Writers Association (AFLWA).

Davis, a wide receiver/linebacker, caught 12 passes for 166 yards with five touchdowns in the Fury's 72-71 victory over the Chicago Rush. Each touchdown either tied the game or gave Detroit the lead. His play was instrumental in the upset, which improved Detroit to 3-4 and dropped Chicago to 5-2.

For the season, Davis has 47 receptions for 662 yards with 11 touchdowns, topping the Fury in each category.

The AFLWA, founded at the start of the 2004 season, is a national organization made up of media members who cover the Arena Football League. Mark Anderson of the Las Vegas Review-Journal is the AFLWA's founder and executive director.
