Trenton Steel News Release
Four Trenton Steel players were awarded spots on the 2011 Southern Indoor Football League All-Star Team, voted on by the league's coaches and announced today.
Wide receiver Dan Huff and kicker Craig Camay were First Team selections, while quarterback E.J. Nemeth and wide receiver Oderick Turner were Second Team selections for the Steel, who finished 8-4 and earned a playoff berth in their inaugural season.
All four helped fuel the Steel's high-powered attack, which was second in the SIFL with an average of 69.4 points per game.
"We had some outstanding offensive performers,'' said Steel head coach Rod Miller. "We improved as the season went on. I'm proud of all our guys.''
Huff led the Steel in receptions - catching 83 balls for an average of 6.92 per game. He scored 15 touchdowns and was an outstanding possession receiver.
Camay led the SIFL in kick-scoring with 160 points, extra points with 96 and field goals with 21. He averaged 13.3 points per game. He tied in the voting with Columbus kicker Trey Crum.
Nemeth, who played at Notre Dame High, was second in the SIFL in total offense, passing for 3,169 yards and rushing for 160 for an average of 277.4 per game. He was responsible for 97 Steel touchdowns - 70 through the air and 27 rushing.
Turner, despite missing two games due to injury, was second in the SIFL in receiving yards per game with 108.4. Constantly beating double-coverage, he caught 68 ball for a team-leading 1.084 yards and 23 touchdowns.
The SIFL Coach of the Year, an award for which Miller is a nominee, and Player of the Year will be released Friday.
