Turfcats Press Conference Successful In Austin
January 15, 2009 - Southern Indoor Football League (SIFL)
Austin Turfcats News Release
Austin - It was standing room only at a packed press conference today for the new Austin Turfcats of the Southern Indoor Football League. Media from throughout central Texas crowded into the Four Season's Hotel to see not only the new coaching staff but also some key players being introduced.
Vice President/General Manager Ron Oswalt explained why the SIFL business model is far superior to those attempts by prior teams. "We have season tickets for a family of four available at $99. That breaks down to $4.12 per ticket. How many families can go out to a football game for that much?"
Oswalt introduced Head Coach Chris Duliban and his new assistant coach Kerry Cash. Both coaches are products of the University Of Texas.
Fans at today's press conference were treated to a surprise as two of the players for the new team also turned out. Corry Perez will play defensive back and is a product of Blinn Junior College in Brenham where he was a wide receiver for two years. Perez told the gathering, "This is the most exciting feeling in the world to play at home. I just thank God everyday for this opportunity."
Darrick Wallace will also play for the Turfcats who ran track at Grambling State while also playing for their football team for four years. Wallace has played indoor and arena football for seven seasons for teams like the Katy Copperheads and Shreveport Battlewings. "I feel pretty good going into this season. Hopefully, we get an experience quarterback who can catch on quick to indoor football," said Wallace.
