Tryouts Successful Despite Cold Day In Texas
January 26, 2009 - Southern Indoor Football League (SIFL)
Austin Turfcats News Release
Austin, TX - Over 50 players showed up at the Turfcats first open tryout at Hutto High School despite temperatures in the upper 30's and wind chills in the 20's and winds above 30 miles per hour were howling at the start of the event.
Turfcats Head Coach Chris Duliban and his coaching staff ran the players through several different drills and one on one situation in front of several fans and media outlets.
Turfcats General Manager/Vice-President Ronald Oswalt said, "The players in attendance today were true warriors of the gridiron, the wind along with the cold temperatures made the tryouts rough on these guys but it shows to me that they really came to play for a spot on the Turfcats."
The format of the event consisted of a variety of physical tests, including the 40 yard dash, 20 yard shuttle and the standing long jump. Participants were timed and measured in all of these events.
Several players showed promise as players from Middle Tennessee State to Texas Tech and several other football programs were in attendance.
