KNOXVILLE, TN (May 22, 2012) - Richmond Raiders kicker T.C. Stevens (5'9 180, Hampden-Sydney College) has been named the Week 10 Special Teams Player of the Week by the Professional Indoor Football League (PIFL) after leading all kickers in scoring for the week with 14. Stevens was 6 of 9 in PAT attempts, 2 of 4 on field goal attempts (37, 23), and he added two Uno's stretching his season total to 13. This is the second garner for the Raiders kicker, who received his first nod in Week One.
Louisiana Swashbucklers FB Kendrick Perry was named offensive player of the week, and Louisiana Swashbucklers DB Damian Huren received the nod as defensive player of the week.
This past Saturday, Swashbucklers FB Kendrick Perry (6'2 245, SE Louisiana) rushed for a league-high 98 yards on 12 carries with three total touchdowns guiding Louisiana to a 53-51 over the Knoxville Nighthawks garnering him the Week 10 Offensive Player of the Week. Along with this being his second Player of the Week nod (Week 7), Perry's two rushing touchdowns extended his league-leading total to 15.
Teammate DB Damian Huren (6'2 218, Southeastern) earned the Defensive Player of the Week for Week 10 after wrapping up a league-high 10.5 tackles. Huren grabbed his third interception of the season after picking off a Willie Copeland pass mid-way through the 1st quarter in Saturday's victory over the Nighthawks. Like Perry, this is Damian's second defensive nomination earning his first back in Week 7 and is just a half tackle off the lead from being the PIFL's leading tackler.
All six clubs in the PIFL will enjoy a league-wide bye before returning to action on Saturday June 2nd.
