Hunt and Fulton Jr. were both awarded the Cutters Catch of the Week after each caught touchdown passes at game-changing moments of the game.

Hunt’s catch came in the second quarter when he snatched a 24-yard pass to gain a 13-10 lead over the Vigilantes. Fulton Jr. followed up when he ran in a 24-yard pass, winning the game 35-31.
