Detroit Ignition News Release
(Southfield, Mich., April 7, 2007) - The Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) and Commissioner Steve Ryan presented Detroit Ignition forward Jamar Beasley with the Hector Marinaro Trophy, awarded to the League's Most Valuable Player on Saturday, April 7. Beasley was honored in front of a nationally televised audience during The Saturday Soccer Showdown Spectacular, a live one-hour special previewing the upcoming 2007 MISL Championship series on VERSUS Network.
"The Detroit Ignition family is extremely proud of Jamar and his on-field accomplishments," Ignition President Greg Bibb stated. "He truly has had a season to remember and the recognition he is justly receiving is a reflection of the hard work and success all of our players have enjoyed. More importantly, Jamar and his teammates have proven to be outstanding members of the community and their collective off-field efforts have played a vital role in the success our organization has enjoyed during our inaugural campaign."
Beasley finished the 2006-07 regular season on top of the MISL's PUMA Scoring Champions Leaderboard while tallying five three-point goals, 35 two-point goals, and 22 assists for 107 points.
